Christmas Gifts
One year in college a church next to our campus was having a charity gift sale were instead of buying gifts for people that do not need anything you bought gifts for poor people who do need things in their name. Most of the people I am buying gifts for this year do not need them. Most (from what I can tell) do not even particularly want them. They like the fact that I make the effort to get them something and this shows I care, but most do not act like they want to get anything in particular. And I do not need anything myself. The gifts people get me are nice and I always tell people what clothes I need or books I want to read so I make sure the gifts I get will not go to waste. But lets face it, if I really want or need something I am probably going to buy it eventually. Same thing goes for most of the people I am giving to this year. So this year everyone on my list is at going to get something from me, but also is going to get something donated in their name to Samaritan’s Purse. I am going with an animal theme and giving away goats and baby chicks.
