I also feel weird giving gifts for people who are just doing their jobs. However, me and my husband decided to teach our children to be thoughtful of other people so we made a tradition where every year on Christmas, we offer gifts to the security guards from their school. The school has 2 security guards that are very nice people. Often times, children don’t thank the security guards for keeping them safe. This is why we encourage our children to do a nice gesture around the holidays. This year we’re preparing gift baskets to express gratitude for their work. I think it’s important to teach these lessons to children from a young age and help them understand the meaning of holidays and the joy of giving.
