Does the holiday shopping frenzy turn you off? This is for those of you who want to add a meaningful dimension to your gift-giving during this season. Helping out a non-profit or community helper is a wonderful way to spread the spirit of the holidays and banish the shopping crazies. Whether you donate money, time or something else, you truly honor the spirit of the holidays by supporting the people and groups working to make this a better world.
