After a long weekend of “can’t miss” and “doorbuster”deals (a decidedly strange term), and an inbox drowning in promotional emails to prove it, there’s something incredibly comforting about #GivingTuesday.
For a brief, glorious moment that steady flood of holiday emails/Tweets/banner ads begging you to buy the latest greatest (insert gift here) so that your friends and family know you really care about them turns into a message of generosity and goodwill, which is really what this season is about.
Sure, there’s still a flood, but the change in message makes all the difference. So, I hope you all find a way to give this #GivingTuesday and remember the reason for the season.
And now, to close, a shameless plug for my own fundraising efforts, but a truly great cause:
