How does generosity help us conform to Christ?

Marie - we were a family of 8. St. Nicholas always came to the barn. Got apples and hard candies.

John - Was with the police department and family of 4 gave us gifts to give to another family.
(43:05) James - At our parish, Santa Clause would come and kneel before the creche. Would help children realize that Jesus came first. How God has been generous to your family. Got $30,000 from a stranger.
