Beginning with the first day after Thanksgiving the
commercial blitz begins. TV and Radio commercials for toys, magazine
and newspaper ads. Christmas has become a month long holidays based
on profit. Yes, religion has really been taken out of the holiday,
or at least put aside. No, you should not stop buying gifts, but
should include religion or some faith into purchasing your gifts.
Try to purchase gifts that have some religious significance. If you
are purchasing three or more gifts, we suggest the rule of Three.
Three gifts should be purchases (1) Practical, (2) Impractical and (3)
Religious.
