Searching for the Right Gift

Searching for the Right Gift by Thom Shuman
on the internet, the auction for the good news the have nots need so desperately is not generating much response; there is nothing for the brown trucks to deliver to the cons sitting in their barren cells; there seems to be little sentiment to commute the sentences of the detainees who long to be with their families; and down at the local hardware store, the latest gadget has sold out completely, while the bin of grief-softeners is filled to the brim despite the markdowned price. these are the gifts you would pour out upon each of us, Anointer of Advent. why are we so reluctant to open our hearts to them?
