Should people on Tik Tok or You Tube or any social media platform ask for viewers to send them gifts? This question raise a number of ethical questions, especially if the person asking is wealthier than the average American who cannot even afford to buy a modest home and who struggle to buy groceries and medications. 

Why is it that Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only times in the year that tug at the heart? Dickens wrote of Scrooge in the final passages of A Christmas Carol that he knew how to keep Christmas.

And this was a life lesson.

The blessing of Christmas is to ask for nothing and expect nothing. Jesus brought life. To the simple, humble shepherds. and the weathy kings from the east, the so called Magi. They came with Thanksgiving in their hearts.
