Is Christmas Season the Season for Giving?







     I often hear people say that this is the season for giving! However, what does that really mean? I mean the word "Give" means to freely transfer the possessions of (something) to (someone). However , when you google giving season it says, giving season is the time of year when charitable giving increases. Key word meaning "charitable" which means assisting those in need. So as individuals we feel as though we are in the giving spirit of the season giving to our family and friends. Except, some of us negate the aspect of charitable giving. Why is that? I'm mean of course there are exceptions to this thinking. Representing an orphanage and children that don't have families to celebrate the Holiday's with or exchange gifts with, need help. The look on a child's face when they receive nothing for Christmas is unbearable.  Especially when they are asking for bare necessities such as a toothbrush, shoes and sock for Christmas.  This often crossed my mind as a person in charge of orphanage how can I compel people to give. Yet, if the spirit of Christmas and the Season of giving doesn't encourage people to support a child for Christmas what will?
