Should we give Christmas Gift?  email this discussion to a friend?

An interesting view on Christmas shopping. In this article, the gentleman believe that if he had treated people with compassion, been honest and taken responsibility for his own actions, then he do not see the necessity to cap-off the year with some shiny bauble. I agree to his view to a certain extent. We should always be treating people around us with love and compassion throughout the whole year and not only during Christmas.

In this article, he mentioned about the Christmas Story, The Gift of the Magi, by O. Henry and in his words, "... story always seemed deeply sad to me because it supposes that two people who adore one another are so insecure in their love that they have to prove it in the form of material objects." I believe that a lot of people out there do not give gifts because they are insecure in their love but they gave gifts because of love. The different is in the motive or notion for giving the gifts. Gift need not be something that is expensive. I remember a friend that loves to make his own gift. Not because he cannot afford to buy gift but rather he finds it more meaningful to make his own gift. And I believe he does not feel insecure of his love.

But I agree that love, compassion and giving should be shown throughout the year to people around us and not only on Christmas.
