Christmas, above all, is about the spirit of giving. This 25th December, don’t just sit around the Christmas tree waiting for your presents. Instead, be someone else’s Santa Claus. Here’s how: 

“Christmas gift suggestions: to your enemy, forgiveness. To an opponent, tolerance. To a friend, your heart. To a customer, service. To all, charity. To every child, a good example. To yourself, respect.” –  Oren Arnold

1. The most meaningful thing you can give someone is the joy of reading. Donate old books to an NGO.
