A survey conducted by YouGov PLC, a polling agency, found that 63 percent of people would prefer it if someone gave a meaningful gift to someone else this Christmas rather than give a gift to them, The Christian Post reports.
YouGov’s survey, which included participants from nine countries, also found that 76 percent of participants said focusing on people in need is important this Christmas. . . .
The survey also polled people on whether they were optimistic about 2021, with 67 percent of respondents thinking 2021 will be better than 2020. . . .
World Vision’s International President and CEO Andrew Morley commented on the results of the survey, stating, “This year has been a difficult one for all of us around the world and vulnerable children have been especially affected. It’s heart-warming to see the giving spirit is still alive globally, and encouraging to see how much people want to help one another. I was moved to hear that it was in some of the countries where people have been worst affected by the pandemic or other catastrophes – South Africa, India, and Lebanon – people are still thinking about helping others. It proves that despite the challenges this year has brought, the majority of people want to prioritize kindness to others and selflessness, even when things are difficult in their own lives.”
The survey also found that visiting friends and family on Christmas is bringing people hope, with 70 percent of participants noting this. . . .

Blessings to All my brothers and sisters in Christ.
I would like to share how my family celebrates Christmas.we are from a different culture and this might be foreign and may even feel cruel to some of the readers and I totally understand.
We do not exchange gifts during Christmas.
Our children are taught that practice early on! Briefly This is how we explain to them so it makes sense to them.
We ask them,
“ what do you think if on your birthday, you get nothing but you watch all the invited friends, except you, exchange gifts?”
Their vehement answer would be , “ No, I am the birthday boy or I am the birthday girl, they should not get to have gifts , I should be the only one, they should bring me gifts!”
And we would tell them they are exactly right and that is how it should be . Then we ask them ,“So in the case of Christmas who is the birthday boy? Not knowing where we are
going with this,
In unison They would
answer “Jesus! Jesus!”
We would say, “
You are right again,So who is supposed to get gifts on His birthday? You or Jesus? “ There would be silence for a moment and then they would answer “Jesus”
Then we ask them,
“So , since Jesus is the birthday boy on Christmas Day, what shall we get Him for his birthday? “
At this point they are excited and start to outdo each other through the year and our gifts would be ready by
December.
To make a long story short, as a family we do different projects that would help those who are in need locally or overseas and we donate them every Christmas in the Name of Jesus and we call it a birthday gift for Jesus!
May you and yours have a blessed Christmas as we are gratefully celebrating The birth of our Redeemer, our Lord and our Savior, Jesus Christ! Amen
Lord please help those who need You most. God please help the homeless and the hungry. Father please help the mentally disabled and the physically disabled and the emotionally disabled and the spiritually disabled and the financially disabled. I pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
It is better to give than receive. We are reminded of Matthew chapter 25…we are actually giving to Jesus
How awesome to be part of this giving adventure!!!
