* At midnight, on Christmas eve, we head out to our favorite tradition of all which we don't talk about publicly. It's totally anonymous and our kids/grandkids look forward to this one far more than opening presents of their own the following Christmas morning. Suffice it to say that we never spend a penny of our change all year long. It goes in a jar for this "special project." On Thanksgiving night we dump the bottle of change, count, sort and roll it for this special project. I took the rolled coins into the bank today and it was well over half a grand! Makes the project all the more special.
We have others but, you get the drift. Traditions are really important to us.
