[LOL, two posts in one day. *brofist*])
Anyway, as you know, tomorrow is Christmas Eve. And after that is one of the most loved days of all year...CHRISTMAS!
Hope you guys get some nice gifts from your family and friends. And Santa. (Yes, I believe in Santa. Respect my beliefs, I respect yours. *^*)
But you know, Christmas isn't just about getting gifts and eating really awesome food. It's about love. And NOT the romantic love, tyvm, green-minded people.
I'm talking about love for others.
You know those kids who sleep on the sidewalk, or the people who go to the dumpster for something to eat? Imagine you were one of those people. Imagine that you didn't have a bed to sleep in, a house to protect you from the weather (which is worse in some parts of the world where it snows), no three square meals a day.
Glob. Now, don't you want to give to the other people who aren't blessed with the things you have?
I know what some of you are thinking. "But kidZ, I'm just a kid. I can't give big fancy things to poor people."
Actually, you can. Every small step counts. Who knows - maybe just giving away your beloved teddy bear can put a smile on some kid's face this Christmas, and that's one less sad person in this world.

Here are a few ways you can give to others this Christmas:
- Give away clothes or toys. This is what I'm doing this year. Go through every piece of clothing in your closet. If they don't fit you and if they look reasonably okay (giving away only your ink-stained shirts and torn-up jeans is just sick, man), give it away. Same goes with toys. Sometimes you'll feel a stab of heartache remembering the memories you had with them, but remember - you're doing this to make someone else happy. :D Sometimes if you're like me, you'll have a big boxload of stuff to give away, which is enough to make half a dozen little girls clothed and happy. (I NEVER CLEAN UP MY CLOSET, OKAY? D: )
- Donate. Don't know what to do with the fifty dollars your mom gave you? Instead of using it to buy yourself a gift, why don't you consider donating? (You'll have enough gifts tomorrow, anyway >.>) If I had enough money to donate (I'm pretty much bankrupt ._.), I'll probably give it to an orphanage or animal shelter. Or a home for the aged. OR a hospital. OOOR to a soup kitchen. OOOOR...well, whoever needs the most help. You decide. :)
- Make a Christmas feast. (Warning: I don't really suggest this if you can't cook...just sayin'.) Prepare a nice Christmas feast and give it to the needy. Anything that's tasty and lasts for some time works: soup, sandwiches, boiled eggs...your special Uber-Cheesy Ham-Bacon-Pepperoni-Shrimp-Olive-Anchovy pizza...XD
...yeah that's it. XD I'm so clicheeeeee.
Peace out, homes.
