So, finally it is Christmas Eve - the day so many of us has been waiting for.
Even though I am an agnostic I was in the church earlier today, and the preast prayed for all those people who dread for the Christmas holidays, for those who are lonely and alone, for those who are afraid, and for those who are hungry and helpless. I started to think about how much money Norwegians spend at bying gifts to each other. We use so much money, bying games, electronics, jewellery, make-up, and a lot of other things that nobody really needs. And then I thought - what if we spent our money on somebody who needs them? What if we gave money to charity or solidarity workers, who would use the money to make the world a little better place to spend a lifetime on? Would not that be better than buying expensive gifts to our family and friends?
I think so.
Next Christmas, I am going to do something good for somebody who needs it, and not only spend money on those who aldready have more that they need!
Why don't you do the same?:)
