On this Christmas Day, I gave my time at St. Anthony's of San Francisco. We served about 4,000 meals and gave hand knitted scarves and hats. Though I did not wake up in the morning with my children or open one gift that day, I really believe it was one of the best Christmases I have had, because I was more in tune with the true spirit of Christmas. From now on, I intend to make it a tradition to serve on holidays. Furthermore, I intend for my children to join in as well. In our consumer society, we place too much emphasis on materialism, especially with our children. Rather than asking kids what they got for Christmas, I will ask what they gave.
