All I Want To Give For Christmas

December 22, 2009 | 1:09 am Share

Everyone has been talking about All I Want To Get For Christmas…

Well, how about turning it around, and thinking, All I Want To Give For Christmas, for once?

A little time, a little money, a little patience… How about a little love too?

Putting A Smile On The Face

The smiley face has always been a wonder to the human race. As humans we have always wanted to see people smile, and there’s nothing more cheerful than looking at happy movies, happy pictures, happy people, happy kids.

And there is nothing even more happier than to be able to put a smile on someone’s face. No matter how elaborate or simple of the thing that you do to bring that smile, you will still get a smile in return, a smile of gratitude.

While it seems trivial, but giving gifts is one of the way that we do to see a smile on others face. And Christmas is the time when people give people gifts, because people want to see people happy.

I’m sure you have done it before, and I’m sure you know how it feels. Giving is sometimes more satisfying than receiving, no?

A New Christmas Wish-list: What do you want to give this Christmas?

Interestingly, we’ve made such a long wish-list of what we wanted to get for Christmas. And then when it comes to the part where we have to make a list of gifts we are to buy and to give to people, we begin to cringe and sigh about the hole that is going to burn in our wallet.

But really, what is it all for? Is it really the materialistic exchange of goods that we’re looking for here? Or is it something behind that is driving our soul to make such a move, the joy of giving and taking, the wish to make people happy?

Put down the Getting wish-list for a second, and look at that Giving wish-list. It’s not so bad of an change after all, is it? After all, what you get in return for giving is not just a hole in your wallet, it’s the feeling of content, the spread of love, the bliss of joy, and well for those who are into it, some good Karma. ;)

Spreading some love for Christmas, anyone?

Anthony from Gratitude had shared with us a charity children home, Good Samaritan Home at Klang, that needed some love for the season. For a little background, the orphanage hosts 29 children ranging from the age of 1-19 that needs a bit of a change, both the cents and the environment.

And they sure can use some lovin.

While I am not going to tell you how cramped their house and how much they can use a real roasted turkey for the season, you can probably guess the state of how most of Malaysian’s charity homes are. To put it simply, they needed more love than how much you need that new iPhone.

If you can, put this little name, Good Samaritan Home on your Christmas Giving Wish-list. For this is so much that I can do and ask of you, and for there is so much more that you can do too. Spread the word if you can’t help financially, for action always speak louder than words. :)
