But that comes as a secondary thling, after shopping for our loved ones and friends to do the gift exchange. <br />What you've suggested is to put the needy ones the priority and the other things as a secondary things.

We have been including in our Christmas celebration a lady who would otherwise be on her own for the day (and I'd love to do this for more people). I also like Sheila Wray Gregoire's approach to gifting, which she calls the Three Gifts of Christmas (see http://tolovehonorandvacuum.com/2012/12/joy-in-the-gimme-gimme-christmas-season/)...Lily Whalenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17794982719681805044noreply@blogger.com
