What I nice story I just read over at Santa 's Community Blog. All about helping your children value their unique qualities. How often do we criticize (like the wicked stepmother) versus point out the positives? Do or say something positive today! It is nice to find and read a blog that keeps the Christmas spirit going all year long too! (photo is courtesy of Santa's Community Blog as well).

Madeleine McCann's Parents Forge On Without Her
2007-08-31 22:09:00
Yesterday would have been Madeleine 's first day of school. Today was the Princess's first full day of Kindergarten. I made a vow, sometime ago, to keep Madeleine's story promoted in the news and yet another day passes with her missing. Another day that her parents and siblings don't have her there with them. If you live in Europe, I'm sure you are keeping that extra eye out for little girls who just might be her. But if you live anywhere else, it doesn't hurt to help keep the publicity going or to keep that eye out for Madeleine or for other children who might need your help.
