			It will be a lean Christmas.  I'm sorry Haley, and Janet. I hope things look up for both of you soon. It's like a house of cards when it comes down to the economy and keeping your income.  
 I worry because my pension is from NYC, social security is certainly not guaranteed anymore and my annuity - I don't want to know! But, I'm okay for right now.  The county I live in is known for its poverty. It is heartbreaking.  I can't tell you how many homes are for sale, and businesses stand empty. I worry about these people now that winter is coming.  I know they can't afford to heat their homes!
 
 It's time for me to start donating canned goods and any clothing I don't wear.
 
 I just can't stand the idea that people are going to be cold and hungry.
