There are so many things I love about the holiday season, but one of my favorites is the traditions. One tradition that I love started when we moved into our neighborhood a few years ago. Instead of doing neighbor gifts, we have teamed up with the Utah Food Bank, and as a neighborhood, we donate food and diapers, and anything else they really need at that time. We designate a specific evening and house as a drop off location each year. When you stop by to donate your items, there are treats and hot chocolate. It is a fun time to mingle with your neighbors, and give something back to the community at the same time. It also helps reduce the stress and time of trying to figure out what to buy for all of your neighbors, and making sure you do not leave anyone out. It is great learning experience for the children in the neighborhood about the importance of giving, and providing service to those in need. It is so neat to see your neighborhood come together to help better the community. What a way to LIVE UNITED!
