Christmas is supposed to be a time for helping people less fortunate than ourselves, such as the homeless or those with next to nothing to look forward to. It's such a shame it has got hijacked by those who think its about partying and indulgence. Every year the media and business and the political establishment seem to push the latter message rather than the former and its quite depressing.
Seriously, there is no better feeling than giving presents to hospitals for seriously ill children or devoting your time to helping a crisis centre
