We all get caught up in the never-ending holiday season hype; there's no denying it, and I don't even want to try to say that I don't too! There's all that joyful spirit of getting together with loved ones to enjoy quality time. You're not meant to argue or get in fights, you promise yourself to not overeat, you try not to fall down consumerist rabbit holes and spend a lot of money on "stuff" - but you inevitably do all of the above. Well, for this festive season, I'd like to share some alternative inspiration. A wonderful gift is to help communities by sponsoring someone's education, or help conservation efforts by donating to aid their scouts or K9 unit. There's so much that can be done with so little! So, let's try to go beyond the consumer-tale of the festive season, and do a little bit of giving!
