Help a cancer patient get ready for Christmas. Give a caretaker a break and stay with their loved one for an afternoon.

We can bemoan that Christmas has become too commercial or we can do what we can to help make it a season of joy for ourselves and for those who need.
Well said!
This post describes the true meaning of Christmas.
