There are certain messages that really hit close to home as the holidays approach, and one of them is the gift of giving.
Society and commercialism has driven many of us to buy big and expensive.
These aren’t the gifts that matter. And sometimes the less you have, the more this is apparent.
This incredible video, with it’s gorgeous illustrations, beautiful melodies and heart warming message sends the message clearly.
Give what you can, and give it with your heart.

What a touching movie! The commercialism surrounding the holidays can definitely be overwhelming. Thanksgiving is actually my favorite holiday since it’s all about eating food and spending time together!
