What to get for Christmas

Until now I’ve realized that when Christmas comes, so does selfishness. For me, I’ve always forgotten the true meaning of Christmas, that Christ was born today. That’s one of the best gifts ever given, yet my mind is focused on the materialistic gifts that entice me during this time of year. I stumbled upon an article by Nick Schneider that really helped me open my eyes to this holiday. Here’s a quote from author Oren Arnold that I think is great:

“Christmas gift suggestions:
To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart. 
To a customer, service. 
To all, charity. 
To every child, a good example. 
To yourself, respect.”

- Oren Arnold
