Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Justice cannot be for one side alone, but must be for both.
Eleanor Roosevelt

There are two ways to get enough: one is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.
G.K. Chesterton

Christmas is a school for consumerism - in it we learn to equate delight with materialism. We celebrate the birth of One who told us to give everything to the poor by giving each other motorized tie racks.
Bill McKibben

Our Christmas cheer turns sour as mass marketing, frenzied shopping, shortened tempers, burgeoning debt, and an exhausting calendar of activities overwhelm us. Buying fair-trade gifts and celebrating Christmas within the context of the Christian year are two humble practices for disentangling the holy day from consumerism.
F. Matthew Schobert, Jr.
