December 1, What Does It Mean to You?

December 1 can represent a lot of things, a very important one is WORLD AIDS DAY
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and it's causes by the HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The virus essentially causes the cells of the immune system to die and thus the body cannot fight off infections as a healthy person would be able to.
Death usually occurs due to secondary infections that a normal person would be able to resist but because their immune system is compromised the infection is fatal.

World AIDS day is a day designed to raise awareness about AIDS. We all see the commercials "Get tested", "Many people don't know they have it",etc. We may or may not know someone with AIDS but we can help the fight against it. Simple things like knowing the facts about it, how it is spread and how it's not. Check out http://www.unaids.org/en/MediaCentre/References/default.asp for facts about AIDS

We can even help by simply shopping for friends and family this Christmas.

If you are a big fan of Christmas, or the holidays in general, December 1 signifies the countdown to Christmas. Christmas means a lot of things to different people but we must always remember the main point; the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ who died on the cross for us. The humble, caring spirit and willingness to service is what we should remember this holiday and should try to emulate all year round.

That's it for now, bye and God Bless :D
