Only a few days to go before we can really celebrate the event that changed the world forever. I hope that you all have a great time, with family or friends, and find a way to bring hope and peace into someone else's life as well.

I thought I would tell you about something we are doing here this year.

We aren't buying any presents this year! We've decided to print up our own cards, each with a picture of the kids we spent last Christmas with - on India's tsunami coast. On the back of each card we have printed:

This year
we have decided
to donate your present
to the kids of
Ambajipeta, India.

We spent
Christmas
with them last year
and we know
that they
will love your gift.

It was great last year to get out of the commercial trail of Christmas, and just spend time with people. We thought it was high-time we tried some of that back here. So this year our Christmas won't be about stuff at all, it will be about people.

Wherever you are - try it a little differently.
