Giving on Christmas

On that joyous day, gifts that are left on Christmas eve (December 24th) by “Santa” under the Christmas trees decorated with lights and ornaments are exchanged.

Day’s of Christmas should also remind us of those unfortunate once who are barley surviving on tiny amounts of food and are going to bed hungry. To those in need we all should give generously as much we can and Christmas should remind us that not everyone in the World is fortunate as “we are”.
