THE ART OF GIVING VS CRASS COMMERCIALISM
"It's better to give than to receive." This idea goes back to biblical times,and it's one we can all support. For, in the giving, we are also receiving the pleasure of knowing we've made someone's day a little brighter. Win-win, yes? The commercialization of Christmas (and other holidays) has become ridiculous, wouldn’t you say? People strive to find bigger, more expensive gifts and load their credit cards to the breaking point. Come January, when the bills roll in, they’ve probably forgotten all they spent and keel over in shock! No wonder it’s such a miserable month.
