Fw: Fresno Homeless Christmas

I was struck by the contrasts. You can see a small make-shift Christmas Tree complete with lights, a wreath toping this humble symbol of the season that had been set by the homeless. You also see a little tea pot hooked up to the same electrical outlet as the tree. In addition the base of the very tall and highly decorated Christmas Tree in front of the city hall can be seen in the background. The simple little gesture by the homeless gave me pause, it brought back to me the very humble beginnings for which we celebrate Christmas.
