Christmastime, pt. 4

We are blessed. For sure. The fact that our kids are able to receive so many gifts and we're able to give is something that quite a few people don't have. Our kids got so many great things. Our friends and family gave generously. We can only hope to teach our kids what it means to give in that way much more than it is to receive things. We're blessed enough to where we don't need anything. We need to turn that around much more than we already do and give to others who are truly in need. We talked to both sides of our family about pooling our money together and going in for families/causes who really need it. I want to do this. Next year, since we're going to be starting a brand new tradition with staying here, as a family, I really want us to be purposeful about giving. I want that to be what our kids think about when they think of Christmas.
