  There is nothing wrong in buying and giving presents if one can afford it, but let it be something really useful and not wasteful. However I do agree with Billy Talen that he should continue the Stop Shopping campaign to put some sense into peoples' mind. I fully support him. Yes, the best gifts would be not in a material form but rather spiritual which is much lacking and much needed now. Give something spiritual, it costs nothing, it is lasting and cannot be simply thrown away. Put the extra money into your child's savings or make early settlements on your debts, which will be beneficial in the long run both for you and the overall economy.

  I'm sorry, but I just can't see why people would make this about religion. That's like not donating to the Salvation Army becuase they're mainly funded by Christians. Get real, man! This guy, 'Reverend' Billy Talen, makes a good point, in that we are literally consumed by our desire to have more. I remember not so long ago when all we could do is get by, and to do so, we worked, and we worked hard. What if we went back to that, where we didn't have a surplus in one area but instead sent our excess things to people who actually needed them, thus saving us money, and balancing out what we want with what we need? Seems to me it would help all parties involved. As for him being a Christian... well, he's more of a Christian then most.

  Christians celebrate the birth of Christ during Christmas. Every Christmas I say to my family that the Lord must be very sad in deed. His word tells us to owe no man. I will celbrate the birth of my Savior but I will not and have not for many years bought a Christmas present with a credit card. Jesus paid it all on Calvary and offers Salvation as a gift to all who accepts. What would Jesus buy? He bought your salvation on the Cross of Calvary. Now at Christmas will you accept his selfless gift?
