So a couple of weeks ago I got an email from a friend asking if I would talk to a reporter about a story he was working on about telling your kids this Christmas may not be as gluttonous as Christmases past. I had just been talking with Emma that morning about how there are moms and dads out there who aren't able to buy as many (or any) gifts for their kids, so Santa may need to give us less so he can give those kids more gifts this year. We also wanted our kids to learn the joy of giving, so we did a few small secret santa gifts to a family.
So I tell this to the reporter, and he took a few liberties. IE I never said this family was "needy" or "disadvantaged." LOL If you were our secret santa family and you happened to have seen this story, please don't take offense!
Anyway, here is a link to the story. It ran yesterday (Saturday) with a couple of pictures, which don't show up online. If I'm feeling adventuresome later on, maybe I'll scan it and post it, but for now, you can read my eloquence and wisdom here (misquoted though I may be... the good stuff is all me!).
