Christmas spirit or Christian spirit?

I have volunteered for several years during the holiday season for different organizations, and I keep having the same experiences year after year....people are RUDE, and more importantly the people that are being helped are the rudiest! Over the years, I have gotten a bitter taste and slowly as the years have gone by, I volunteer less and less. Nothing beats the look on someones face when they have no expectations and you hand them anything and their face lights up as if you gave them the whole entire world....its the warmest soul food you could ever experience and maybe thats why I LOVE international missions. People in America just dont seem grateful and I really think because they havent experienced poverty. I see them coming up with new ways to beat the rules and systems in place to provide for everyone and yet they find ways to benefit their family leaving other families without. I see people signed up that really dont belong there, they just know where and when to grab a handout
