Charities solicit donations throughout the year, but the real push comes around the time Rudolph accumulates that dust on his nose at the local Walgreens. It must be incredibly frustrating for a family living through hard times to see ostentatious displays of wealth, knowing that anything beyond the simplest gifts are the stuff of dreams.

In the weeks ahead, each of us will likely find ourselves at the mall or on-line, shopping for a “must have” item for a loved one. We’ll puzzle over the correct color, or style, wishing that the choice wasn’t so perplexing. The “perfect” gift is ever elusive and we’ll probably outspend our limits in its pursuit. When you’re up to your ears in holiday spirit, remember to pick out some gifts for people you will never know. Shampoo for a man in a homeless shelter who needs clean hair for a job interview. A baby carriage for the mother of twins, alone and worried about what the coming day will bring. A gift basket for a family on hard times – bought by someone unnamed but delivered by you.

Maybe this is the season of getting after all. Getting the joy from knowing your generosity has touched lives you’ll never know. Getting the riches of lifting those less fortunate above the maddening fray. Getting the peace we all so richly deserve.
