One of my favorite traditions arounds the holidays is the Houtz Annual Sub for Santa. Speaking as an old teacher, this is one of the times where I don't mind being called a sub. Throughout the year, each member of the family has a change jar to collect for the yule tide service project. Tara and I aren't really the best at having much change to collect. Does anyone use cash any more? We're just lucky that I have a big jar of coins that I still have from my childhood piggy bank. In spite of our challenges collecting the money, I think it's a great way to remember others and get beyond the whole commericialism of Christmas. It was fun to get Kennedy and Alex involved this year, even though Kennedy thought everything we were buying was for her.
