What can we do to help you have a Merry Christmas?
By "we" I mean society collectively and communities in particular.
I believe this is a time for friendship and caring, and that we are happiest when we are helping others. I have donated some toys and food items to some local drives; I have donated blood to help those who might benefit from my type. I am happy to have family members present and friends and have a great deal to feel good about.
Like most of us I have a few issues I would feel much better about if they went away, but I can deal with them and will deal with them and my life will continue to be good.
What can we do or say that would make your holidays brighter?
And how are you working to make Christmas better and happier for you and others?
I am well aware that this world is not a perfect place and that many people are unhappy or unprivileged or hurting for various reasons. Several events in the news in recent days and months have saddened us.
But I also believe that each of us has the ability to make his or her own part of the world safer and happier. If your world is in need of help, how can we help?
These, for the most part, are good answers. I liked Lovechild's answer. The serious answers show the spirit of generosity that I believe moves most of us. There were a couple of funny answers about Mr. Obama.
But I wanted to choose a best answer that is in the spirit of the way this question was asked. We can wish for many things. Money. Safety. Maybe someone to love us even when we aren't being particularly lovable. So this was the spirit which guided me as I chose the best answer.

What a nice question one of a kind really. It's nice of you to think of needs of others this time of year. If you pray then you could say a quick prayer for unemployed people like me to find jobs fast.

You just did it for me. I was going to post something similar to this but I got really sick. I haven't been on my computer at all today and finlly did and went straight to your question.
Thanks for being so thoughtful, I admire and respect you so much for the consistant, generous sffort that you put into reminding us what is right is good, and also DOING what you do for society, saying what many cannot. Merry Christmas.

anyone can buy a small meal and give it personally to a homeless person.
also any canned goods which you likely won't need can be given to others
less fortunate.

You could, if you would, help me in my fight with the 'community guidelines'...nothing but deletions.
