The Real Spirit Of Christmas

Our Pricipal had this to say about one underprivileged family that the school helped last Christmas: "I received the coolest phone call ever from one of our families from last December. Seems they went shopping, bought about five bags of toys, and want us to distribute them to a needy family this year." Last year this family was a recipient of our generosity drive. The fact that those people would want to help give back to those less fortunate makes the Christmas season that much more awesome.
It is refreshing to see people with a giving attitude. So often in our society today all you see is people taking things for themselves. Maybe that is the problem with our society. As Americans we strive to be the best in everything we do. We want to make more and more money. It seems like enough is never quite enough. Some people will do what ever it takes to get ahead, even if it means that other people will be hurt in the process. To see someone who wants to give back to others because someone once helped them is refreshing. It makes you feel like you will be doing some good when you help someone and perhaps that will inspire them to help someone else.
