I had my chance this week, when I was a guest at the White House’s Hanukkah party. Now, when I say “guest,” I mean I was a guest of the president — of Hadassah, that is. My mother, Nancy Falchuk, is the president of one of the largest Jewish charitable organizations in the world, Hadassah. Her organization sponsors many different charitable activities, particularly related to healthcare (here she is in Jerusalem speaking at the ceremony lighting the walls of the Old City pink in honor of the Susan G.

We don’t have anything against buying really good gifts for the people you love, but we do think there are better ways to spread cheer than to buy a bunch of gift sets, holiday specials, and seasonal treats that will end up in the trash or in your storage unit until this time next year. What’s more, if you can resist the impulse to buy a bunch of crap you don’t need, you might just have some money left over to do something fun with your friends and family that will leave you a lot happier...
