The kids and I choose a charity and begin collecting items right after Thanksgiving. Then we take a photo of all the stuff we've collected and submit it to the local newspaper.

It's good advertising too

As for gifts for the DCK's....I don't give them anything but memories through experiences and honestly I don't feel one bit guilty because a 100 years from now, they are going to remember those memories long after they've outgrown the cute holiday pj's and since I do it for the kids, I don't have to worry about being appreciated or not.

I like this idea. :-)
