Excellent Holiday Thoughts ! from Frank Eliason

“I realized this weekend that we sometimes forget the meaning of this time of year.  I do not mean the religious connotation that comes from Christmas or Hanukkah.  I mean the giving spirit and togetherness before the winterfest really takes place.  Most people in the winter spend more time in the house and not as much visiting family and loved ones.  From November to December this is really about family and friends.  Unfortunately when I was driving on Friday and I heard a few news reports that certainly did not have this meaning.  Most of you have heard of both of the incidents by now:  The trampling to death of an employee at WalMart and the shooting at Toys R Us.  Have we truly lost sight of what this time of year is about?”

About Frank
October 29, 2008
Hi!  My name is Frank Eliason.  Most people have learned about me through my work from Comcast and in Social Media.  I am very proud of that work, but there is a little more to me then that!  Hopefully everyone will learn a little bit more about me as well as my thoughts for Customer Service and Social Media.  I have alway lived in the Philadelphia area.  I am married to Carolyn and we have  3 children:  Lily, Robyn, and our angel Gia.  Besides enjoying helping others, my interests are sports, especially football.  I am also a gadget geek. I love electronics!  So if you ever have a gadget that you want tested, send it my way
Time to be Frank » The Holiday Spirit.
