They may not be destitute of many things, but if the love of the Babe of Bethlehem is in their hearts, they have the true Cristinas spirit. For those who may he able to give a few presents, remember that the price vs not the most Inportunt factor. 1 , “The gift without the giver is l are.” We must remember those less fortunate than we are and share our happiness with them.
