THUNDER BAY – Living – The holiday season is a time of many contrasts. People come together to help charities, gather with families, and share in the seasonal festivities.
Television has shows sharing the messages and joy of the season.
However for many people, the holiday can be a time of hardship. For some the message of the season only intensifies their feelings of sadness.
