You may have thought I would say reflect on the meaning of Christmas. However, money seems to be the true yuletide green.
People tend to spread it around more than holiday cheer.
As a Christian, I have grown to appreciate Christmas for its emphasis on giving. It's the one day in the year when most people make an effort to show their appreciation for family, friends and strangers. There's certainly nothing wrong with that. What does strike me as wrong is how and what we give. Too often we try to impress people with our gifts.
