When I was a kid, I grew up in a small town, and my parents had asked the principal of our elementary school for the name of a family that could use some help. Then, on Christmas Eve, my father and I snuck over to their house and left a gift on the porch for the child in the family. (I'm intentionally leaving out details, because I still live in roughly the same area and who knows if he/she listens.) It is, to this day, one of my favorite Christmas memories.
