crisis

Christmas always had the particular ability to soften people's heart and trigger the desire to help others (it's a shame that this feeling only lasts a few days for some of us). We then search for the needy around the world and for the ones who are suffering living in a world without freedom.

We collect thousands of dollars in help and attempt to solve every part of the world's problems! As generous as this is, we also forget that here, at home, we have needy people too, our own! The ones who are loosing absolutely everything they have worked so hard for, their whole life! Thanks to this growing economical crisis we are going through.

As amazing as it seems, this year we will be spending (according to the news on T.V.) an average of $ 850.00 per person for Christmas. In other words we will feed our brain of propaganda, brained washed through commercials and the media,  and we will be spending money that we really don't have. Some of us will even get deeper in debt and later on, we will probably pull our hair (more like in April) when the credit cards statements reality starts slapping us on the face waking us up from this "temporary state of mental stupidity".

Some of us will say "Oh well! At least I made my loved ones happy these Holidays". So true! However, you could have made them happy with less money and more creativity. Christmas had nothing to do with shopping remember? and Santa was created for kids!
