In the first part of this article we learned that giving is better than receiving. This is not only from religious point of view but human psychology. When you give you feel joy that is unparalleled. The joy of giving is many many times more than joy of receiving. We also learned different ways of giving and about people we are in need. All of us do not have time to give though they have the will and the sources. We learned about different ways these people can give without much trouble. Let us discuss more.

When a family chooses a family to shop for, they in turn become that family's Angel. Many families would not have a Christmas without those people who open up their hearts, care and share with those less fortunate. People, by spreading goodwill, show they believe it "IS better to give than to receive" and are putting their words into actions.

Just like the Angel trees, there are also Secret Santa trees, where people can share the toys they bought for their children with children who might not get a visit from Santa. Sometimes people, without children, choose names off the Santa tree to purchase toys for children they want to buy gifts for and sponsor.

Many people and organizations sponsor Secret Santa for children in families who are either poor, temporarily out of work, or have other special needs. Some of these organizations are police and fire departments, social services, churches, and schools. Secret Santa, Angel Trees, Toys for Tots are all ways that people can share their holiday spirit and show their belief in the saying, "it's better to give than receive".

Giving to somebody who is in need is a joy. Watch the small on the face of a poor child when they get clothes or toys. The smile is invaluable. You will get immense joy watching a grateful family who will have a great Christmas because of generosity.
