Whoa!
Read the following article and all I could think was:
What if people donated just 10% of that to the poor?
Think about it? If one did a "tithe" of the money they spent on Christmas gifts and then gave that money to the poor, or a charity where a majority of the money went to helping the poor (rather than being tied up in administration costs) think about how much could be achieved!
Or how about this as a Christmas gift idea? Instead of buying dad another tie for Christmas, donate that money to the local Catholic Worker house or your parishes St. Vincent de Paul Society in his name, and then write him up a gift card letting him know what you did for him that Christmas.
