Well, I'm thrilled to say I have lots of Friends on board already. I was chatting with one friend about this and she wants to bring her kids too . . . we live in the Suburbs, we have modest 1960's splitlevel homes - - our kids keeps saying they wish we were "Rich". As parents, my friend and I are challenged with trying to show ou kids how truly rich we are, in the grand sceme of things. Even if the kids share bedrooms, don't have their own TV (boohoo) or Xbox, Nintendo, Playstation etc. and holidays in Hawaii. This is a great chance to show our kids what it is to be truly poor, to have almost nothing. And hopefully we can add a little greatfullness for what we do have.

Then the kids (and us parents) can take part in the greatest gift of all - - -giving to others. Got to go and make dough - -make it all now and freeze it, bake the cookies in a few weeks and decorate on December 23rd - - all ready to be given away on Christmas Eve.

Who is with me?
