Is it really ok to give a charity gift instead of a 'real' Christmas present? Let us know what you think!
Giving a goat, a toilet or something even more obscure to charity in lieu of a sending a 'real' Christmas present or card seems to have become the busy person's answer to a last minute trolley dash on Christmas Eve. It takes minimal thought, minimum effort and, here's the crux, it makes the giver feel like they've chosen a worthwhile present - but is it really an acceptable substitute?
Daily Mail journalist Virginia Ironside certainly doesn't think so. Have a read of her article "A curse on these smug types who buy you a goat in Africa for Christmas" and let us know what you think - simply login and post your comments in the box below.
