Steev
Your post made me feel so sad for the little child who just wanted a happy Christmas but whose parents were unable to provide such an experience. I hope you enjoyed Christmas.
The striking thing for me about your post is that despite not having the best Christmas yourself you quickly make it less about you and all about helping others- you have nailed the real meaning of Christmas and I guess the essence of Steev.
Wishing you the happiest New Year with Good health to enjoy your travels..
