Thanks @gavvet for this initiative. Its well welcomed.
You know, a lot of people might say they don't have enough money to buy gifts for others, and stuff like that. But people prefer the very little things of life. For instance whether it’s the elderly couple whose driveway needs shoveling or the single mom who could use a mother’s helper, you probably have someone on your own block who could use a hand. Your family may be able to offer the lifeline they need during the holiday season.
With little funds, you could start a holiday tradition of allocating a certain amount of money for each child to give to a charity of their choice. Make the money one of the kids’ gifts under the tree or in their stocking on Christmas morning in the form of a homemade gift certificate.
So there is no excuse, everyone has something to give.
