It is better to give….
Our family has done a really good job this year of not getting tripped up in all the Christmas madness. We have intentionally not been busy. We are still making time for friends and neighbors and we have been very modest in our spending for Christmas. Because we rarely watch network television (our children watch none) we haven’t seen all the crazy Christmas ads and I am blissfully unaware at home during the day of outside happenings.
That coupled with my desire to help our children grab hold of the joy of giving I have been thinking through some things we can do together. I am considering having us make some special pictures to deliver to a local assisted living facility with maybe carnations. The children have so much fun delivering special treats to neighbors near by, I thought I would make it a big deal and prepare a whole day of giving for us. I don’t want it to take a ton of money to pull off or be stressful in anyway to prepare.
Have any of you done something like this or have any ideas?
