We always give to charities over the holidays but for the last five years we havebeen giving to charities in the kids names and given them a little less.. We have explained that with as much as they have/get there are kids out there who get nothing.

Last year they gave to the Heiffer charity where they buy a family in need live chickens or goats or a heiffer or some other animal that keeps on giving. You can get a lot of miles out of a rooster and a dozen chickens. Teach a man to fish...

PS.. DOES NOT mean that I don't want something cool..
