     In Search of the Christmas Spirit
    PLAY

     “It’s easy to get caught up in the hubbub of the season. Holiday traditions become tasks to check off a list, time with family and friends can be cut short by busy schedules. The joy we should experience is sometimes obscured by the stress we do experience.”​—FORMER OKLAHOMA [U.S.A.] GOVERNOR BRAD HENRY, DECEMBER 23, 2008.



    AS THE Christmas season approaches, songs, films, and TV programs promote a jolly and exciting holiday mood​—the Christmas spirit. What do you think should be the most important element of that spirit? Would it be
    Remembering Jesus Christ? Sharing in the joy of giving? Helping the needy? Spending time with family? Promoting peace?As Governor Henry, quoted earlier, put it, many who celebrate Christmas find it difficult to achieve any of those goals during the holiday season. Christmastime often tends to be hectic, stressful and, above all, commercial. Is cultivating the Christmas spirit​—or at least what it is supposed to be—​a lost cause?
    The Bible does encourage all of us to remember Jesus Christ, to be liberal in giving, to help the needy, and to spend time with our families. It also teaches us how to be peaceable. Therefore, rather than discuss why some do not celebrate Christmas, * this series of articles will consider the following questions:
    What do some feel should be the reason for celebrating Christmas? Why is it a challenge to achieve what they hope for in Christmas? What Bible principles have helped millions to find something better than Christmas?

    ^ par. 10 For the Scriptural reasons why some people decide not to celebrate Christmas, see the article “Our Readers Ask​—Why Do Some People Not Celebrate Christmas?”

  • David Franks: Walkabout…

    After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on MySpace...

    Poem cum song 5 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my Blog for details):
    STATE TO STATE

    (TUNE:

    From Sydney Town,
        In uni. break,
    I drove out west
        To earnings make
    Onion picking,
        On the fields
    Of Echuca,
        That year’s yields.

    After day’s work,
        From Y.H.A.,
    A group of us
        Would not delay
    To walk on down
        To the dirt rim
    Of the Murray,
        For a cool swim.

    On one such day,
        I do declare,
    Some three of us
        Had a big dare
    To swim across,
        From state to state,
    The wide Murray -
        I took the bait.

    Yes, foolishly,
        I took the bait -
    A choice that I
        Would come to hate,
    For I almost
        Did drown that date,
    Making the swim
        From state to state.

About me:

The Environment Site was created as part of a MSc study into the impact the Internet can have on charitable contributions. Its aim is two fold. Firstly it aims to help fund the work of the Surrey Wildlife Trust in protecting areas of outstanding natural beauty in the county of Surrey. Secondly it aims to help people globally to increase their environmental awareness and provide easy means with which people can make small changes to their lifestyle to help the environment.

Things You Can Do at The Environment Site:

I guess the site is split into two main areas. One section provides you with things to help the environment (for little or no cost). The other section allows you to learn about and discuss the environment.

How you can Help

We have several free donation facilities that allow you to help the environment without it costing you any extra. These include:
  • Click to donate - Click a button, raise money for environmental charities. Simple (and free). What are you waiting for?
  • Search to donate - You all search the web right? Now your searches can raise money and help the environment.
  • Shop to donate - Everyone loves to shop but treating yourself is not what eco warriors do right? Wrong. Now you can shop to your hearts content and a percentage of each purchase goes towards helping the environment. Everyone's a winner!

How you can Learn

We have several ways that you can learn about the environment and interact with others around the world. These include:
  • The Environment Site Forum - I love this place, we have over 2,500 people from all over the world debating the latest environmental issues. Some of the topics under discussion include: climate change, renewable energy, peak oil, recycling, deforestation, biodiversity, over population, organic farming and much more.
  • Eco Tips - Doing your bit is really easy, you just have to know how. With our eco tips knowledge base you have no excuses any more. 100's of great and easy to implement tips to help reduce your environmental impact (and save money!)

Ways you can help us

Obviously the more people that know about The Environment Site the better, so there are some ways you can help us to do this. These include:
