I understand the economics of Christmas, in fact at one point in my career – came to rely on it – though not anymore. I am less enthused today about these nuances and choose to participate emotionally and fiscally less and less in the notion of celebrating this time through gifts and frivolous and non-essential…
I do a number of things professionally...but most of all and the true purpose of what I do through "my work" is to provide for my family, be a good husband and great father, and try to make a difference as a world citizen...I guess it's not much more complicated than that :)
