Readers of StepDadding might be interested in a post I wrote for lifehack.org as a kind of remedy for the rampant consumerism of “Black Friday”: Teaching Kids Charity and Clarity with Pre-Christmas Cleaning. The idea is one I got from my brother and sister-in-law (and they got it from who-knows-where) — go through your kids’ rooms with them in the lead-up to Christmas and pick out toys to give to charity.  We’ll be doing this this weekend, teaching a sense of charity while hopefully clearing up enough space for the influx of new toys and videos that’s sure to come from relatives far and wide as the Christmas season heats up.
