While I certainly object to the commercialization of Christmas, and believe (and practice) giving to charities and non-profits, I don't really appreciate our faith community's holiday being co-opted by saying that "the true meaning of Christmas" is just giving to charity. (Perhaps it would be worthwhile to make another holiday called "Charitymas.") Also, the selection of charities accessible through this program is insidiously biased, ignoring major groups such as World Vision, Samaritan's Purse, Prison Fellowship, and Compassion International, but including a division of Planned Parenthood (the Guttmacher Institute) and groups such as the "Youth Coalition for Sexual and Reproductive Rights." An effort truly interested in non-profits and charities per se would have a much broader tent than "Redefine Christmas" does. How sad and untransparent.
