he Christmas story described in the Gospels encourages us to be generous with one another.
That is what we should be all the time, of course – it is the way to really enjoy our common lives together on this earth. But when the Christmas spirit abounds, this becomes easier and more natural.
Christmas also is a time to remember how we need to be good with all people, wherever they are.
Yet it can so easily be, in the hectic rush of Christmas shopping, that we forget some of the basic principles of doing right globally.

I just wanted to say thank you for processing my order so quickly. Order for two rugs placed yesterday (December 21), received today. Pretty impressive given the time of year!
Happy Christmas and keep up the good work!
