Well, here it is, almost Christmas again. Sigh… Fortunately, there is always one aspect of this holiday that I truly enjoy and that is coming up with a creative way to make my kids smile. To a lot of them, I’m the first and only bus driver they have ever known and I really enjoy giving them little gifts on the holidays.
This year I’m giving them the gift of respect, pride and responsibility. I asked my banker lady Michelle to order a batch of brand new two dollar bills and they just showed up and I bought forty of them.
She also gave me individual envelopes with a Christmas wrapper for each. The idea is to give these kids something special that they can respect and keep, as opposed to something they will never remember. These are uncirculated bills, in mint condition.
The challenge will be to convince the kids to not open the envelopes until they get home and hopefully the parents will understand the concept, and take it from there…
