The materialism of Christmas has become much more apparent over the last several years, with stories of people getting trampled trying to get through the doors the day after Christmas in search of $29 DVD players at Walmart or people paying $2000 on EBay to get their an XBox 360. A lot of people seem to only think of themselves during this time of the year.

I just finished reading a story over on David’s blog that is incredibly inspiring and shows what Christmas really means.

I think that its really important to not only take some time at Christmas and think about how much we as individuals have but also to take some time and help people that are less fortunate than you. There are some people that through no fault of their own really have nothing and helping those people shows the true meaning of Christmas.

David, what an awesome story. It shows that the efforts of a few people can really change the lives of others.
