Reach out to the poor
To all My non-Muslim friends:
This post will be far different from the previous ones which sing in rythmic melody.
A place where kids sleep with empty crumbling stomach , waiting for alms. The fisherfolk community is one of the most impoverished sectors. If they go home without a catch, their families will have no meals for the day. They live in shanties and have no Christmas trees.
I had a chance to witness their fate during my immersion program when I was in college. It was brief but it taught me to value the real essence of life unselfishly. I thought I know how poor families live but I realized that by experience, they are really suffering not only physically but morally.
I just wonder if you have many foods to spare, then maybe you can help poor people in your place. If impoverished families live in your immediate community, those who truly have nothing no matter what they do, please spare them some alms..
You can also help by organizing those who share the same sentiment and collect donations for the poor. I know Santa will be happy to know that you also care for those in need.
This is not poetic but will aid you to look the other way, outside the malls where magnificent Christmas decors fascinate you and your loved ones.
Let me take you to a world where the poor people have nothing on their tables for Christmas.

I'm not really much of a Christian but I do care about what happens to people less fortunate than I am. Perhaps you might like to look at the posts of December 13 and December 28 on my blog 70 Plus and Still Kicking?
They may cast an interesting eye on another side of Australian life ...
