Great stories, everyone! Now I have one for you.
One the regular visitors to the park and I were talking a few days ago. He told his oldest son (who is a priest) that he and his wife had all they needed, so not to get them anything. Dan's son took the money that he would have spent on his parents' gifts and used it to give a family that otherwise wouldn't have been able to afford it Christmas - tree, dinner, and presents. Then he called Dan and told him what he'd done. Dan told me, all teary-eyed, that it was the best present he's ever received.
