Finally after years of exchanging presents with all my brothers and sisters-in-laws we're doing something different. It took two years of arguing at Thanksgiving but this year instead of buying gifts for one another we're going buy gifts for a family. We're doing this through the local Children's hospital... It was pretty simple, we came up with an amount that we agreed to spend and they picked a family for us. We're doing Christmas gifts for a family of 5 kids ages 5-18. Their mother passed away 6 months ago, father is absent and they're living with their grandmother who is elderly and on a fixed income.

I know this seems sappy and sentimental. However, in my family everyone already has everything they could ever possibly want or need. We're a lucky bunch. That made this a simple decision for us but it still took us a while to get everyone to go along with it. Perhaps a few of y'all will be inspired to help some seniors or families in need this Holiday season.

Cheers,

Brad
