Christmas Spirit

My homeroom adopted a 4 year old to support during Christmas. We raised money and then I went to Target to get him his gifts. First, he's four. I don't know what 4 year olds are like. Second, he's a he. I can't even buy for guys my age let alone 4 year old boys. So, I called mom. We got him the coolest stuff. I hope he likes it. He wanted an esclade with real spinners but my budget said no. That thing was like $75!
Anyway, here is my soapbox for today. While I was at Target I got very frustrated. People were arguing about money and how someone else was getting more than them. Families were being ugly to each other (in public) etc. Please, this season, can't we forget ourselves for a while? Adopt a child, do toys for tots, give money to a needy family at church, cook for someone, give money to salvation army or somewhere. We must think beyond ourselves. What may be a cute pair of shoes for us could be food for someone else.
