What a good reminder. I'm a big fan of anonymous giving -- I still do believe in Santa Claus and like to help him out every once in a while. There are so many people who aren't well-off this year it isn't very hard to find someone to help.
I also like to invite "singles" to join my family for our traditional Christmas eve spaghetti feast... I hate to see anyone spend the holiday alone and each one who has come has added so much to our celebration. There are always college students who couldn't afford to travel home for Christmas, empty nesters whose kids are too far away... This year we only have two special guests coming so far but we can always throw a little more spaghetti in the pot! |
