One Christmas, when my daughter was a young girl, she informed her mother and I that she did not want any Christmas presents and that she would prefer if we bought gifts for the less fortunate. Now, this was not just some idle rambling made by a pubescent teen, she actually ended up getting her entire high school behind this idea and she got a massive number of toys donated to LA County Medical Center, and the tradition carried for several years. She may not know it, but it caused me to start my own tradition.

My photo of the day for day 352 is of a bag of coins set to go to the bank. The proceeds will go toward making a family I do not know, a little happier this Christmas.
