Ask Amy: Pandemic places extra stress on holiday visits
Dear Amy: Like so many others, I have fretted over not receiving any acknowledgment from grandchildren when giving their gifts.
This year I have decided to send a nice card, telling them how blessed I am to have them in our very special family and that their gift is a donation — in their name — to a local charity (and then name the charity).
This has been a “win-win” for me. I am no longer so disappointed about no “thank you.”
The charity receives a nice donation, and the grandchild knows that they are loved and remembered.
– A Happy Granny
Dear Happy: Yes!
