Christmas presents

I am sorry that I am so slow in posting this. I have talked to many of you about it but I am finally letting you all know. When talking to Maralee awhile ago she suggested that instead of the siblings buying presents for each other that we each find a cause, a family or a person who might need our help this Christmas and use the money that we would have spent on presents and contribute the money to our local project. I think that it is a good idea and should be the means of helping out those around us. That doesn't let you off the hook for great presents for your Mom and Dad though. I know this is a tough area since I have a hard time figuring out what to get Dad myself.
