Good for you, Tristan! I know that giving makes me feel good about myself (not that I don’t anyway) but it makes me feel good about others, knowing they are thinking of others as well.

How very, very well said, Iris! I especially like, “…it is just a reminder of something we should always remember anyway.”

Thanks! <3

Nice article, Kes.

Thanksgiving is not celebrated where I am from, but frankly, I think a bit like Valentine’s Day, it is just a reminder of something we should always remember anyway. Just as we should always show the ones we love that we do, we should always share a bit of our blessings with the ones that need it. After all, it is a small portion of the world that actually has the things we take for granted – security, steady incomes, social system, computers, education, all those. It is easy to forget how lucky you are to be born in Europe/America, when you are.

So yeah, drop a few dollars/euros to a charity. Better yet, choose a charity to support the whole year. Should you really be drinking all that much coffee/eating as much chocolate anyway? Giving makes you healthy!

Thanksgiving for me was last month, but I do really like secular holidays and I’m glad that these “christian only” days are becoming more cultural so everyone (including people like me who don’t believe in any religion or supernatural stuff) have our special days as well.

Besides that, I have donated more than your typical 21 year old and I do like this season for its feeling of good spirit.
