But that being said, I'd be happy to chip in for a gift for your kids if there's a way.
Oh no no, that's not necessary at all. I think we will really step up our charitable work this year to really emphasize the point that it is better to give than receive. Some ideas I liked were making cookies and delivering them to local police and fire stations, go to a local coffee shop just to buy someone else's coffee, plan a family adventure day.
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
