RE: Give to Food Banks in Lieu of Christmas Gifts
I received a Christmas card mid-October last year which included a colorful one page "letter" giving a family update for the year, etc. It ended with the following post-script: "Our family has chosen not to exchange holiday gifts this year. In lieu of that we have adopted a local family in need for both Thanksgiving and Christmas."

The timing was considerate since I had not yet purchased and shipped gifts to these friends. I inquired to find out what the family they had adopted needed, purchased accordingly, and sent these items to my friends to give to the family they had chosen to assist.

I believe this is a more timely and forthright way of communicating a desire to not give or receive gifts in lieu of charitable donations. While the intent and outcome is the same it's a much softer approach than sending out notes saying in essence "I have given your gift to someone else" and avoids the embarrassment of receiving a gift from those you have chosen not to send to. And the big plus - it allowed me to actively participate in giving to the needy family as well!
