One Christmas Eve, my husband and I bought something for everyone who still had a card on the mall's charity gift tree. I think it was 30 or 40 things. Things like "warm gloves for outdoor work" and "a cuddly stuffed animal for a 6-month-old". My favorite was the request for a bicycle for a ten-year-old. We blew everything we had left in our bank account and had to buy groceries that week on a credit card, but it felt good knowing those people weren't going to have a giftless Christmas.
