With Christmas just around the corner, many people are beginning to feel the stress of the holiday season. Instead of worrying about the gifts, and the parties, why not volunteer and help others this holiday season. Many organizations are looking for volunteers to help them, help others. Whether your visiting children at a hospital, or helping serve food at your local soup kitchen, every bit helps.

Get the entire family involved! Have your children go through their room and pick out old toys and clothing they don't use anymore, and donate it to families in need. Its a good learning experience for them, and will make them feel good about helping others in their community. Sometimes the best gifts in life are the ones that don't cost anything.

Chris, this is an awesome idea. What a way to teach the little ones as well. Leave it to you to think of the best alternative. I love this idea!

Faith, I do think we have all been to influenced by the commercialist propoganda... a great many "gifts" don't cost any money, just our hearts and our time.

Thank You Al and Peggy.  We all have so many things... what many of us appreciate is time, fellowship with friends and family and helping those near us who need our help

Service to others (or lack of) is what you will be remembered for and this is a great model for children to follow! *Suggested Chris!
