The Mystery Gift

Next year our family is going to have a "Surprise Present"

It will be the first present we all open. An envelope. None of the kids will know what is in this envelope or who it is for. I think we'll do it every year.

A charity gift from our family to a community or family overseas that has real physical needs. I would like our family gift giving (which is still important by the way) to start off by thinking of others.

I know this organisiation operating in Australia does these kind of things:

Baptist World Aid

I'm sure other organisations do these too. If you are in a different country you can find a local charity by doing am internet search for "charity, gift, Christmas" in your country.

Grace and Peace,
Michael
