You're so right, Tom -- The less fortunate around us need to be remembered throughout the year with our investment of time, treasure, and talents. And rather than a focus on "stuff" as a way to celebrate Christmas, it would be so much more valuable to turn our attention to simple acts of lovingkindness.
