I love Christmas. It's time for family, for comfort, for love. And for Christians like me, it's a time to celebrate what's most important, the birth of Jesus Christ.

And Jesus made his purpose clear to us - sacrifice. He died so that we could live. And we struggle to keep that the focus of Christmas while we're busy buying and unwrapping gifts.

Let's face it, most of us actually sacrifice very little day to day. But what's small to us can be huge to someone who lacks basic health necessities. Just $20 is enough for one person to have clean water for two decades.

So, this year, I'm giving up my Christmas. I'm asking everyone that would've bought me gifts to instead donate that money to help me build a well. I'm also asking others of you to join me and give up your gifts. 100% of all funds raised go directly to the water projects.

Between now and Christmas, I aim to raise $1000 in my charity: water campaign.

Please join me if you can.

Merry Christmas!
