Christmas is, as always, a series of wonderful snapshots; a reminder that in the midst of worries and challenges love, hope and joy always find a way to prevail.
Thanks to your generosity a number of local families are celebrating with toys and a special Christmas dinner they might not have had otherwise. KPLC's Community Christmas in partnership with the Salvation Army Angel Tree received tons of food, toys and monetary contributions from as far away as Lafayette and Austin. Thanks to all who gave and to the sponsors and volunteers who made it possible.
Lake Charles unwrapped its own Christmas present to Southwest Louisiana in the form of a new and improved Millennium Park. As 2012 gets underway, so will work on even more lakefront improvements.
And just in time for Christmas came the reminder of a lovely 9-year-old girl named Madison Johnson of the Power of Words...how they can help or hurt people. Let's hope her message thrives long after Christmas is over.
As Christians celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, let's remember that the best gift around any Christmas Tree is the presence of family, friends and God all wrapped up in each other.
From our KPLC family to yours, a very Merry Christmas!
