We celebrate the holidays within our family with gift giving but we have two "rules"- they are homemade with recycled materials or the gifts are preused/recycled. This makes things a little more challenging at times, and much more thought must go into the gifts, but def. more gratifying......and it certainly makes it much easier on the family budget! Last year I spent $35 on the kids and my husband and all of it came from the thrift store. Lots of board games which bring some variety to game nights and a used StarWars foosball table. It's nice to be able to celebrate and participate and still feel good about the source of our giving......finding a new purpose for something discarded. blessings to the Center this holiday season! ~Shawna Yes, I heard of this, how sad and just plain sick.

I very rarely watch television so I was unaware of this sad tragedy. I so agree with you and your opinion. I will remember this young man and his family in my prayers. Thank you for your wonderful insight to a recurring problem and the forgotten true meaning of giving. Daily reminders will move mountains. Happy Holidays to all at the Center. Blessings Sue Wolf
