Christmas is a wonderful time of year where we get to reflect on the incredible gift we've been given through the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ! It's also a great time to share His love by being generous to others.

Here are 25 ideas to help you be more generous this Christmas. This is, by no means, an all inclusive list. We encourage you to think not only about how you can be generous financially but also with your time and your talents!
