Gift Giving Appreciation

[kidlove]

Careful with the "donations" approach....you will still have a lesson in "doing it because you want to and not for any other reason" I tried that a few years and ended up a little angry because so few of my parents took part, I tried giving them each a member of a family to buy for (like the angel tree) but its a whole family, a few of the families didn't partake (forgot ) so I had to go out a purchase all their gifts for them. Another year, we supplied Christmas dinner for families, and also had "partial participation" ended up buying alot of the meal myself. I have found in life......a lot of "what matters most" to me...doesn't seem to "matter most" to others. Don't stop if you want to do a donation of some sort, just don't forget...you may have to cover a lot yourself, due to parents not thinking the same way as you.
