Consider "The Christmas Pledge" in Jo Robinson and Jean Staehali’s book Unplug the Christmas Machine. They write, "Believing in the true spirit of Christmas I commit myself to:

• Remember those who truly need my gifts

• Express my love in more direct ways than gifts

• Examine my holiday activities in light of my deepest values

• Be a peacemaker within my circle of family and friends

• Rededicate myself to my spiritual growth
