[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 105836, member: 3626"] When we lived in the Northeast, we would fix cookies and a fully dressed turkey and deliver them to the local soup kitchen on Christmas morning. Here, we have adopted a family of four. We have bought each family member a practical gift and a fun gift. We've already dropped off a tree (artificial) to them with some lights and ornaments. The mother has MS and the father admits he can't cook, so we will make them a complete Christmas dinner and deliver it Christmas morning. They can heat it up quickily and easily. We've also discussed it and have each returned one gift that we bought for the other. That money will be used to pay this family's electric bill in January. We're also including a gift booklet that we're making. So far, we have included a complete meal to be fixed for them on any day they want next year; babysitting 4 times so the husband and wife can have some time together; 4 days at the pool here for all of them; 6 days of cleaning their home; cooking lessons for the hubby and eldest son (he's 10). That's all we've come up with so far but I'm sure other ideas will come to mind. For me, Christmas isn't Christmas without giving something to others who have less. We may not have much right now, but there are so many others who have less. To not share just doesn't seem right. [/QUOTE]
