The spirit of voluntary giving at Christmastime remains alive in some areas:
" When the going gets tough, the tough get going. And giving, apparently. That's been the situation in southwest Michigan and northwest Indiana as far as this Christmas season's kettle donations for The Salvation Army. Officials with various Salvation Army organizations in the area reported Wednesday donations have been steady and at least on pace with last year's contributions, despite the economic downturn."
And as Adam Smith and others taught us down through the years, voluntarily choosing to give to help others in need is a truly moral act. It makes you feel good, too.
