Redefine Christmas

Did you know that we spend more on holiday candy ALONE than the combined annual budgets of The American Heart Association, The American Cancer Society, and Habitat for Humanity?  That’s an attention getter. 

This morning, I discovered this web-site, Redefine Christmas, which encourages visitors to think differently about holiday gift giving. 

Here is a quick introduction from the web-site.  I hope you’ll go check it out. 

It’s not about reinventing the holiday. It’s about changing the way we look at gift giving and receiving. It’s taking money we usually spend on obligatory gifts with little meaning, and creating gifts of charity that give in multiple ways, to the receiver, the giver, and people who truly need.
