Dear Friends

*Christmas is Coming*

First, buy things for their usefulness rather than their status.

Second, reject anything that is producing an addiction in you.

Third, develop a habit of giving things away.

Fourth, refuse to be propagandized by the custodians of modern gadgetry.

Fifth, learn to enjoy things without owning them.

Sixth, look with a healthy skepticism at all 'buy now, pay later'
schemes.

Seventh, shun anything that distracts you from seeking first the kingdom
of God.
