Give Your Christmas Spending A New Purpose

Sunday, November 16th, 2008

Could good causes around the globe benefit from just a share of your normal Christmas spending?

How much did you spend on Christmas last year or the year before? What’s your budget this year? Could you cut it by 25% or half and give the money to people or organizations that serve the poor?

Know anyone out of work? Would those you love really love you less if you gave them fewer presents?

It’s a challenge for me. After all, I want to give good gifts to my wife and children.

The notion of cutting back is being championed by the Advent Conspiracy. Check out the bold message.

How can you love those closest to you as well as strangers this holiday season?
