There are many things that you can do this season. This is especially effective for family shelters with children. Participate in gathering supplies for a food bank . Talk with your children about presents that you are giving to other family members. Let them be part of the decision marking.
Many elderly people love to see well behaved, polite children.
Those that don't won't come out of their rooms. Have your children look through their clothing and toys, and pick some to donate to the needy . Leave anonymous presents on their doorstep. Children love this game of trying to leave the present, ring the doorbell, and then get away without being seen. Don't let this season go by without making some of these special memories.
