Every year my side of the family adopts a family or gives to a charity instead of buying each other presents. This year we adopted a local family who has an 11 year old son and a 1 1/2 year old daughter. The mother is out of work due to having surgury on her arm and the father has been doing side work while still looking for a job. I met this guy through a friend who employees him part time and he is a hard worker. He had mentioned the lack of money was going to be an issue for Christmas this year. After my wife and I went shopping for the two kids and wrapped the presents I called him and told him what we had done. The best part is when he drove over to pick up the gifts. He kept thanking us and telling us how much of a mental load this was taking off of him and his wife not having to tell the kids Christmas was going to suck this year.
