Last year, the Gates side started a new tradition of gift giving for Christmas. Instead of presents under the tree (paying for shipping across the country and taking a stab at a store bought gift that they may or may not like), we started doing gifts of service. Names were secretly assigned to each of us and we needed to think of that person and do a service in honor of them.
This year the Hocks decided to join the fun and start their own Christmas of Service. Michael and I really enjoy the tradition as it helps us focus on the true meaning of Christmas as well as makes us really think about the person we are assigned to. We know it is a LOT harder than just buying gifts, but on Christmas morning when we get to read all the posts, it is totally worth it!
