Our Season of Service

Inspired by some friends of our family, the Tucker family has decided to try a new way of exchanging Christmas gifts beginning in 2013. We hope it will become a wonderful family tradition. For years, the six Tucker children, their spouses, and their parents exchanged gifts every Christmas, but in 2012, we decided the gift-giving tradition may need a change since we are all so blessed and in need of truly nothing. We decided we needed to find a better way to celebrate the true Christmas spirit.

We suggested that we each perform acts of service in the name of the sibling whose name we were assigned at random. Our service will be kept a secret until Christmas Day.

Names were drawn for us and and we were notified privately of the person who should inspire our service. On Christmas Day, we reveal who we were given and how we chose to serve by posting our stories on The Tucker Family Season of Service blog.

We hope this tradition will help us focus on serving our communities and each other during the annual celebration of the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

We invite you to come back to our blog on Christmas morning to read this year's service.

Service from Nick

Happy Holidays from Nick.

For my service project, I decided to help donate for Cancer research. Todd's work at the time, Cardwell Distributing was holding a yard sale, where proceeds would go to help with cancer research. Tiffany and I had gotten quite a bit of new furniture after moving into our new apartment and had planned to sell it on KSL. When Todd mentioned the yard sale however, we decided to give our couch and entertainment center to the yard sale. Todd said the couch was the first thing to sell. Woohoo!

This was done in service for Weston. You know, the tall one in the family. :) MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!
