"You write the post: Christmas Giving Traditions"

We're going to do something a little different, something I can't recall ever doing before, something most blog publishers dare not do — we're going to let our readers write an upcoming post...sort of.

We are going to put forth a topic and then take your feedback and make a post out of it. Sounds fun, right? So in the spirit of last week's election, let your voice be heard... POWER TO THE PEOPLE!

Our inaugural post topic: Christmas gifts!

• How do you approach giving Christmas presents to your children?
• Do you set a limit on the number of presents, the cost, or both?

• Do the kids know about these limits?
• Maybe you draw names?
• Do you make an effort to tie in gift-giving to the message of Christ's birth?
• Do you even give presents?
• What kind of traditions do you have that you feel really have a positive impact?
• What have you done in the past that you've discontinued because you found it unhelpful?
• What kind of things did your parents do that you really appreciated?

Pick out a few of the questions above and give us your answers on our Facebook's Note Page.

Consider your input to be the first gift you've given this Christmas. We'll receive it with joy — and put it to use!
