Stimulating the Economy

Stimulating the economy during the Christmas season seems to be a patriotic duty!  But alas, even after some have stimulated the economy to the extent of their credit limits – there is still not satisfaction and joy.  Too much money spent, too much SNOW & ICE and not nearly enough peace and tranquility.  Nor really do the bearers of the fruits of our generosity seem all that satisfied or content with the results of this economic stimulation.  Yet year after year we continue to attempt to out stimulate the last until at some point it occurs to us that we can no longer even enjoy the Holiday Season.  So, my recommendation and wish to everyone is this: Keep your focus.  Don’t give too much to those who really only need your love, time, and support.  Give more to those who really need your financial gifts and who will really appreciate them.  This will give others a chance to truly enjoy the Holiday Season.
