The Second Day of Traditions

(This should have been posted yesterday. However, as I finally got a chance to sit down at the computer around 8:30pm, Brother woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep until 11:00 (which could start a whole new tradition of being flexible around the kids). So, you get two traditions today.)


Angel Tree: We don’t buy presents for our kids (shock – gasp!). Instead of giving our kids gifts, we let them buy presents for kids that need presents. We go to Woodland Hills Mall and pick out children the same age and gender of our kids and go shopping. Brother has been too young to really participate, but Sister has enjoyed finding things for the kids. We also talk about why we need to help those that don’t have the means to buy basic necessities, such as clothes and diapers.
