It's funny, because I was no different than any other kid. I wanted STUFF for Christmas. But now, after all this time that has passed, I can probably tell you two or three presents that I know I got for Christmas over the years...but that one experience, I can tell you every single detail as though it were yesterday. Every once in a while I'll pass the house and it just puts me right back there. It really was pretty cool.
Hot Zester, Some organizations (like where I work...For the baby Jesus!) don't let you "adopt" a family specifically, but NorthEast Parent and Child Society lets you adopt an entire family or one or two child/young adults. They tell you about the kids/family and you can buy and wrap gifts accordingly. I did it before I started at where I work now, it's a lot of fun. PM me if you are interested in that.
