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.

From Tiffany to someone... I can't remember who

Service for... I don't know!

So, I can't find the email of who Nick and I were supposed to do service for and I don't remember. But I will give you our stories and everyone assume it was for you.

From Tiffany... Let's say, this is for Kristen, cause... Yeah.

This year I signed up to volunteer for a "walk for autism" event in the city next to us. I even convinced my sisters-in-law to do it with me, which is a feat in itself. I wish I would have found out how much the event raised, but if don't know. I would say there was at least a thousand people there. They had free vents for all the children attending and they did a one mile walk throughout historic downtown Waterbury. It was a lot of fun!
