As children, we love circling the Christmas tree, and hunting for the packages with our name on them. Shake, guess, and wonder all we like, we never know what we get until Christmas morning. Yet, as we grow, it is important that we understand that it is far better to give than to receive.
In her short story, “A Christmas Inspiration,“ L.M. Montgomery, author of the ”Anne of Green Gables” series, shows us the importance and impact of giving over receiving. As she follows Jean and her friends on Christmas Eve, Montgomery shows how giving is one of the best ways to shed light and help others in this world.
