This is a bulletin my friend posted in her myspace. I cleaned up some of her grammar because she isn't very good at English, but I didn't change any of the meanings.

Christmas is NOT a materialistic day to me its about giving to others.
Theres this lady at my Mom's job who was [recently] beat up by her son, and so was her 11 year old daughter. I've only met them once, and know they dont have much of anything and live from paycheck to paycheck. When i asked the girl what she wanted for christmas, she said "I just want to give hugs and kisses!" Oh my god... Anyone who knows me knows that I'm super sensitive and I started crying when I walked away.
So instead of worrying what I was going to get my friends for Christmas with the $200 I saved up, I bought gift cards for the mother and her daughter. We also gave them our tree we had not yet put up and some decorations.
So this year we wont be having a Christmas, and now that I'm older I could care less, because its not about the badass lights and ornaments, its about helping others.
This year I feel like santa

No cliff notes, sorry. If you can't take the time to read that then clearly you AREN'T in the Christmas spirit.
Personally, I think its awesome. I really wish I could help some one, but I can never figure out exactly how.
