Christmas is about the joy of giving, we hear again and again. The most obvious secular symbol of this is Santa Claus, the mysterious stranger who is responsible for childhood joy. In real life, however, many people don’t understand the simple human pleasure of doing kind things for others, even if it doesn’t seem to make sense. That shouldn’t stop us from giving, though, especially at Christmas, because one gift or act of kindness can make all the difference in a person’s life.
