We give away a lot of stuff all year long. It's our thing.

Well, that and great music. But when we get to this time of year, giving away Christmas trees just feels more...special.

In the past, we've done contests where people write in reasons why they deserve the Christmas tree. It always ends up going to a 'whose life is rougher', pity party kind of contest, and that space doesn't do any of us any good. Check out a snippet of what this article from Deepak Chopra on Oprah's website says:

The answer to feeling poor inside is to gather some riches. I don't know about your past, but somehow you maintain a childlike wish to be dependent, and this is keeping you bereft. It is also denying you a world of inner riches. A person who is rich inside feels as if she is enough. She is strong enough and good enough. She can trust her instincts and feel secure in her choices. She takes responsibility for every victory, as well as for any failures along the way.
