A tradition that I started after my thirteen grandchildren were born was to give each family unit or individuals a sum of money when we gather at Thanksgiving. Before we gather at Christmas, they use this money to bless someone else. Before we open gifts each family reveals how they helped someone else. I never tell them the amount or how it is to be distributed so that they cannot plan ahead. It is fun to hear their stories.
