Show WISE GIVING there is both wise and foolish giving at christmas many people spend more than they can afford to and many of their gifts are of no practical use many of them are not even artistic or beautiful where such gifts are exchanged year after year much of the sentiment wears out in the main however the christmas giving is somewhat sensible today people have become tired of offering things that do not meet a real need or give true pleasure they leave conceived the idea that a gift lacking in such respects is better not given they try to find out what people want and need and agne something they would really like when people thus put some intelligent thought on a gift it amounts to something something out of the givers life goes into it and the receiver treasures it as proof of affection thus christmas draws us all closer together and makes us realize that selfish striving should not be the main end of life |
