An Idea for Giving This Season (With Kids)
December is always busy with extra fun (and "fun"), and we are inundated with both shopping prompts, and our own various, runaround errands. Our family celebrates Advent as a time of waiting and anticipation, as we near the day of Christmas. We try to do something every day — sometimes a simple candle lighting, other times more elaborate with activity or treats. One of the traditions that we never miss is to "give" each of our kids $100 on St. Nicholas Day (December 6th). The story of St. Nicholas is about generosity, and we use this opportunity to invite our kids to participate in giving financially to others.
