We try to pick up food for the food bank a few times a month, and at Christmas we buy a gift for a local child about the same age as R. We also gave some relatives gifts from the “gifts for life” catalog from Episcopal Relief and Development. A couple times I read “Because of You”, a book about giving, to R but he isn’t that crazy about it.

So far we’ve been doing “giving tree” by shopping for school supplies of needy kids and donating used toys and clothes to the goodwill. I think we should do more, but my daughter is not interested in allowance and money handling much yet (she is the same age as your son).

The grownups typically exchange gift cards, so those were still purchased and given to the family in need instead. Lastly, our traditional gift exchange/family get together still happened, but instead the moms and kids met that morning to shop together for the families and that evening we got together for our usual dinner and celebration. However, instead of unwrapping gifts, we wrapped gifts for the families. Each person brought gift wrap and it was a lot of fun…the kids helped wrap too and we talked a lot about why we were doing this. Even the 4 year olds really seemed to get it and it made such a difference that we plan to do it again this year. Thanks for sharing your idea — it’s another easy and wonderful thing we can do!
