It's funny how Christmas seems to arrive earlier and earlier each year. On my way to work today I heard Jingle Bells on a radio commercial. Really? Thanksgiving hasn't even happened yet! Then when I was walking into the church, I saw it. There was snow on the ground. Not a lot, but it was there on the grass. In the first half of November. I guess Christmas really is coming.
Have you started Christmas shopping yet? No? Good! I'd like to give you some ideas while your Christmas budget is still flexible. Without further ado, here are some wonderful Christmas gift ideas!
- Parasite Be Gone! $4.00
- Garden Seeds $10.00
- ABC's $25.00
Sorry if I failed to mention that these gifts aren't really great ideas for your loved ones this Christmas. These are gifts for people around the world who are in desperate need of life's basic necessities. It's hard to imagine their circumstances for those of us dealing with First World Problems like running out of space on our iPods and complaining the heater in our house is either a tad too cold or a tad too hot. But for just 4 bucks, you can give a kid meds that will wipe out intestinal bugs in his system so that he doesn't go malnourished. For 10 dollars, you can give a family in Africa seeds so that they can plant a garden and be fed for months to come. For $25, you can help an impoverished mother become literate so she can provide for her family.
