"For the Man Who Hated Christmas" - A True Story

This true story was originally published in the December 14, 1982 issue of Woman's Day magazine. It was the first place winner out of thousands of entries in the magazine's "My Most Moving Holiday Tradition" contest in which readers were asked to share their favorite holiday tradition and the story behind it. The story inspired a family from Atlanta, Georgia to start The White Envelope Project and Giving101, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating youth about the importance of giving. To learn more about honoring a loved one through this special tradition, please visit www.WhiteEnvelopeProject.org. On the site, you can browse a catalog of unique giving opportunities, create and send your own white envelope gift, purchase charity gift cards, and more.

Amazingly wonderful

Ahh, my eyes are watering! I'm an atheist who doesn't celebrate Christmas, but I've always believed in doing good toward others. After watching this I have a new perspective on the holidays. Instead of spending my money on useless things for myself that would have otherwise bought gifts for family and friends, I will now be donating toward nourishment, warmth, and shelter to this project so that the less fortunate can breathe a little easier. May you all have the happiest of holidays!
