Story

We all have different Christmas traditions and experiences we love but there are some things we can all agree on. The hope of the Christmas story, that God so loved the world He sent his only son; the special atmosphere of a Christmas church service; festive food and drink and, of course, the giving and receiving of Christmas gifts.

However, for many of us, Christmas can easily become a season of excess rather than a season of goodwill. Commercialisation and the pressure to spend more and more for the sake of it can lead to unnecessary spending and waste, and obscures our focus on God's greatest gift to us, Jesus.

This Christmas, we want to help you refocus, reconsider the waste, and redress the balance. Do Christmas A Little Differently is all about making different decisions, and then using the money saved to have a positive impact on our neighbours around the world which has the potential to go much further!

If you are willing to go under budget and leave a little to donate - even just £3, £4 or £5 of your original budget then this Christmas you can help people around the world adapt to the climate crisis which is pushing people further into poverty. This is not God's plan but you can be part of the solution.
