It's almost Christmas which means if you're like me, you've at least started spending money you don't have to buy your friends and family gifts this year. This might be an idea for next year for your family, church, or group of friends. Check out this movement started by Imago Dei in Portland, OR. Even if you don't "officially" join, its a great idea for Christmas, or maybe next year if you already went into debt this Christmas.The basic idea is to take the $450 billion we spend at Christmas (or your share of it) and give relational gifts instead. "Because God gave us a relational gift, His Son, we decided to give meaningful and relational gifts too." It would only take 22% of what is spent each year on Christmas to supply the world with clean water ($10 billion). Click here to see the website or here to download the brochure.
