Christmas is the time of giving that comes once a year.Whether we are the young ones or the parents or grandparents, no matter where we live in, Christmas is the time when the meaning of giving in love is felt everywhere.
It is during Christmas that we dig deep into our pockets to give gifts and presents to our loved ones, and to friends and to missions, to spread the goodwill and the cheer.
For those who have more, we give away more. To those who have less and are financially challenged, we still find ways to give whatever we can, and feel good in the process. We can still give away a smile, give away our time to help someone in need and just give away our prayers for the well being of someone who need a touch from God.
As a good steward of our money, we would want to stretch our dollar during Christmas by deciding on the best gifts that we would like to give away, and obtaining them at the best prices. What can we actually give away, and where can we get these desired christmas gifts at heavily discounted prices?
