<p style="text-align: center;">As a parent I have been to many birthdays that not only did I not know the child celebrating his or her birthday but also hadn't a clue who the parents were.  That's what you do as a parent; you go to parties that your kid is invited to and celebrate the birth of his friend. Can you imagine if you had a birthday party and nobody came to celebrate?  Neither can I.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Christmas is an incredible time for many and then there are those that Christmas is just another day.  The fact of the matter is, Christmas is a birthday party that everybody needs to attend and everybody does in their own way.  Tell me another holiday that everyone takes off work and stops their basic routine of life to spend with their friends and family.  I can't think of one.</p>
