CHRISTMAS
"Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.

To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect."
-- Oren Arnold

GIVING
Ultimately, the best gifts are the ones given from the heart, gifts that infuse our rituals with feelings and values. They're the ones that bring joy to the recipient and the giver--joy to the world.
Frances Lefkowitz
Writer
A cheerful giver does not count the cost of what he gives. His heart is set on pleasing and cheering him to whom the gift is given.
