Send in your best idea to celebrate a Christian Christmas!

We are all about celebrating in our family. We each choose angels from the angel tree at our church. This is where we buy gifts for needy families. This program really teaches our kids how fortunate they truly are.

We also spend at least one day packing care boxes for needy families. The number of families sure seems to be increasing each year. Our kids are able to see how much just having enough food means to needier families.

And lastly, we limit the amount of money that can be spent on gifts. Things have gotten so crazy that we just decided to keep the maximum down to $50. The kids don't always get exactly what they want but we try to find gifts that are still meaningful.
