Our New Family Christmas Tradition




Last year we decided to make a special stocking for Caleb. We invited some friends and family to do small acts of service, write them down, and send them to us as their present for Caleb. We loved gathering together as a family on Christmas and reading everyone's acts of service. It brought such a special spirit to our home for Christmas.

I thought we'd just continue the tradition as a family this year but I had several people ask me if we were doing it again. So, I am extending the invitation to all our friends and family to join with us in filling Caleb's stocking with service again this year. I know it's pretty late in the season and I don't want anyone to feel obligated in any way, but I also want everyone to feel included so if you know of someone that might be interested please feel free to pass the word along.

If you'd like to send your acts of service for Caleb's stocking, you can reach us at:

That is a beautiful stocking! I'm glad you are carrying on the tradition. I obviously wasn't reading blogs during Christmas cause I didn't see this.
Thanks for your sweet note today. It made my day!
