The Secret
Family
One
of our favorite family traditions is that of selecting a
"Secret Family" and surprising them with fun stuff
throughout the month of December. Sometimes we exchange with
other families. Other times we just choose a family with
children that will enjoy our escapades as much as we do. (If
we just choose, we do let parents know, so they know that what
we leave is safe for their children.)
We
don't leave expensive gifts. Instead we might make a paper
chain in red and green and drape it over the bushes in their
front yard. We leave things like candy canes, hot chocolate,
popcorn or handmade decorations for their tree. After
leaving our surprises, we ring the doorbell and run away. (One
night we got stopped by the police who wanted to know what we
were doing as we ran to our "get-away car"!! We were
leaving "goodies" for a family with five children.)
There
are some children who never did find out who we were--and
those are the best memories of all.
"For it is in giving that we receive."
St. Francis of
Assisi
