My mother-in-law gave us last Christmas card, like this, she had given money to charity for us, should I get? I was wondering whether to give the same kind of thing from him this year. I am not afraid to give money to charity I donate a fixed amount to cancer research every month, but what do others think that the presence of a real.
I do not think it's real but it must now think it's a good idea?
What would you think?
Well, I do not see why you should not do the same.
I personally am not in favor of giving money to charity in someone else's name unless you ask really, I think it's a bit preachy. However, as your mother in law did this to you, I saw no reason why you should not do the same thing.
There are several British charities wil send gifts to people in developing countries - textbooks, mosquito nets, seeds, chickens, fruit trees - all sorts of things, and will send a card to the person in whose name you purchased the gift. It's a bit more personal than a cash donation. I expect that the charities are U.S. will do the same, if you're American.
I give to charity this year too, but I do not consider this to be a real gift, especially since you do not say she asked you what charity you want the money given. I prefer the person to determine which charities they give to themselves.
She had a very pleasant thought, but she should have asked your opinion. This year, ask them what charities to support and love to give one of his favorites.
I think it's a real present. She probably knew that you donated to charities and thought that's what you want. If someone did this to me, I would have no problem with that.
Know that it looks like the true meaning of Christmas to me! I think it's a great idea. Especially if the gift is in the name of the people. People are so materialistic.
A very generous act. I like the idea.
