The Giving Season
It’s that time of year again. Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Stress, Stuff, Consumerism, Affluenza.
We all know that’s not what this season is about, yet we still get caught up in the flurry of crazed gift giving. The state of the economy has been a great catalyst for bringing us back to simplicity. Instead of feeling sorry for ourselves that we may not be able to afford the hot new item this year, try embracing the simple true spirit of the giving season.
Unlike the stress-induced holiday shopping and gift-giving pressure, true giving reaps some remarkable rewards. A recent NY Times article highlights a few of the benefits of giving, reporting that some of the greatest benefits resulted from direct acts of service.
Get in the spirit of the season. Give.
