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.

To: Sarah, Merry Christmas From: Becca


Merry Christmas Sarah. 
As my act of charity in your name I wanted to do something that reminded me of you. 
The first thing that came to mind was dentistry and teeth.


I dedcided to go buy some dental hygiene supplies and...

put them in some cute packaging...
I then donated them to a local homeless shelter

They were very grateful for the donation. 

I hope this helps a few people, and I hope it helps you 
to have a Merry Christmas. 

From, Becca
