[QUOTE="LittleDudesMom, post: 704173, member: 805"] We always pick two children from our local Salvation Army Angel Tree - one boy and one girl to match my children - we've been doing this since they were babies. We get the outerwear, clothing and toys/art supplies/books. My daughter shops for the girl and my son shops for the boy! My daughter, a nanny, actually suggested to her "boss" family that she and their little boy begin doing this two years ago when he was 4 because he was so blessed. This is the third year and she and "her charge" have done it and he actually remembers now. They pick two little boys his age because, in my daughter's words, he benefits from picking out things he would love but not being able to keep them himself. She thinks it's more genuine that way. I have always chosen one charity a year to give a substantial donation to rather than dole out $5 or $10 to everyone who calls. The past few years it has been St. Judes Hospital and for a number of years before that it was the Ronald McDonald House. I always make my donation in December. Sharon [/QUOTE]
