Bible Question (short): Some do not have enough money to buy. |
Question (full): Does Christmas Giving Make Sense? *** Really, does it make sense to save all year to buy gifts that others may not need or want? And does it make sense to try to impress others with expensive gifts? "One particularly noxious aspect of Christmas consumption is 'conspicuous giving,'" claims Henry. "Luxury gifts," he says, "are designed precisely for those who are least in need of any present at all ('the person who has everything'). Most such high-priced gifts are given at Christmas; the fourth quarter, according to a sampling of New York department stores, provides more than half the year's diamond, watch, and fur sales." Moreover, Christmas magnifies human inequities, causing tremendous pressures and unhappiness. Some do not have enough money to buy gifts, and in the United States, this apparently leads to more robberies during the Christmas season than at any other time of the year. |
