25 days of Giving

I've really been hating how much Christmas has become commercialized.  It really takes the Christmas spirit away so we decided we wanted to do more giving to others.  We are doing an act of service for every day leading up Christmas.  Most of them are super simple, but we are really enjoying it so far.

On the first day we gave money to the salvation army, and today we gave a toy to the salvation army.

It's not just some toy either, at least not to us.  It's Thomas' Christmas present.  We decided that one way would remember Thomas would be to donate a gift in his name every Christmas and on his birthday.  His gift went to a 3 month old boy, and I hope it enjoys it.
