This holiday: Less stuff, more giving

Chances are that if you’re reading this, you have enough STUFF. I do. It’s not excessive by American standards, but I have all the things that I need. And yet, bearing down on us like a retail freight train is a season where we are expected to buy more stuff for other people (who also have enough stuff), and those people are expected to buy stuff for us, too. In fact, much of our economy is dependent on this ritual to keep on steaming ahead. Isn’t it time to say “Enough (stuff) is enough?”
