Each holiday season I struggle with the consumerism. To me it is a reminder of our decaying moral core as a civilization. I do enjoy family and food though.
When I was young, I was expected to reflect on the needs of others (on a global scale) during the holiday season. I pass this tradition to my daughter.
I also believe giving year round.
I find functional gifts to be the best. There are people on my list who have everything they need, and the things they want I can not afford. Then there are people on my list that believe as I do that giving to others in under developed counties is the solution to neutralize consumerism peacefully.
This is the purpose of this post. I believe in sharing the things Creator has blessed me with. I love Heifer International because I can give anonymously a gift that will change the path of an entire family and their village and hopefully those ripples help change the world. This gift idea works for any occasion that requires a gift. I'm just saying...Here is a link to heifer International...Peace...
