christmas

Christmas-shops and adverts are telling us to buy buy buy...toy and publicity companies are becoming richer. Society demands and believes the biggestest and most expensive is best.....but is it?
The pleasure is in giving and not recieving, small things have the same value and pleasure as large expensive things...we have become victims of consumerism.
Financially I can not give to people what they think they need, but I can give them something small and precious, that bought or made and offered with love. Remember those alone, those who are chronically ill and those who carry sadness within them. Remember the innocent victims of wars, disasters, and other causes...people hungry and without shelter.
Christmas is a time when we should look within ourselves and offer to others the greatest thing of all...love.
"And there are those that have little and give it all"
"There are those that give with joy, and that joy is their reward"
(Khalil Gibran)

I echo FJL totally. The joy is all in the act of giving.
