[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Volunteer to help those in need through your church, a food bank or the Salvation Army.[/quote]

This is funny.  I come from a family of real do-gooders. They're at the soup kitchens every Friday through freezing rain and blizzards, etc., etc.  Anyway, you should hear how the "real" do-gooders make fun of and resent the "one timers" who come out on Thanksgiving or Christmas.  It's hard because the teens/college kids really want one thing:  to veg out.  They want time to sleep in and to watch bad tv and eat junk food.  They claim that's all the gift they want (assuming of course that they're very busy and responsible during the school semesters).  OK then.  [/quote]

It may be that the do-gooders don't appreciate the  "one timers" but the people in need and the charitable organizaitons are much more appreciative.  They recognize that at least some of the people who volunteer at the holidays will come back again or will donate money which is needed year round and doesn't spoil.  There are organizations that appreciate that jewish groups are happy to volunteer on Christmas day, even if it is once a year.  If these supposed do-gooders were actually trying to help the less fortunate you'd think they would appreciate what others do rather than criticize them.  [/quote]
