The fourth thing we do this time of year is some sort of service and this involves the children - even down to my 2-year-old. We try to keep it short and simple and preferably something indestructible (because I have four boys) in order to keep everyone focused.This year we went down a few houses from us and raked the leaves of our neighbor who isn't able to get around as much anymore. It took us less than an hour this morning and we walked away knowing we had done something good for someone.
It's things like this that I hope my children will remember for years to come, long after the ipod, the dsi, and the board games.
