Community Involvement

Living in a small town in the Southwest I like to get involved in the community events, especially at Christmas time.


I do such things as helping to decorate the towns Christmas trees, helping out with the towns festive activities & helping out with the New Year Celebrations.


BUT..................  what is really starting to bug me more & more is the number of people who do absolutely nothing to help and then start moaning about everything that they think should be going on.


I will freely admit that I do not do very much to help my town.  In the month of December I am probably only going to dedicate about 10 hours of my time to ensuring that our Christmas/New Year festivities are fabulous.  Having said that................  If everyone else in town dedicated 10 hours per month, then we'd probably all just have to dedicate one hour every couple of months.


Just what has happened to community spirit????


The town that I live in is looking fabulous.  But it's only looking fabulous because a very small band of volunteers has made it look this way.


And it's really, really, really annoying when one walks around town and listens to gossip because that's what happens in a small town saying that this isn't right and that isn't right and so & so should have been done differently.


I really feel like just slapping some of these people.


What on earth gives these people, (who haven't contributed anything whatsoever), the right to criticise what is being done when all they're doing is sitting on their arses???


This is a small town.  It's a very lovely small town.  The Christmas decorations are looking very, very fabulous in our small town.  Our New Year celebrations are going to be fantastic.


Wise up....................  all you moaners and move into the 21st century.


Stuff doesn't happen by itself. 


Years ago, the whole community would have pulled together to ensure that everyone had a good time at Christmas & New Year.  Now it seems that there are only a few individuals who are prepared to give up their time and make this happen.


Come on peeps....................


...................Christmas is a time for giving, sharing, loving................
