julie moore 1/23/2021 1:06 PMFor several years at Christmas, we gave each child a gift card to a restaurant none of us had ever gone to that would cover the cost of the family. They then got to choose when we would go for the family dinner. It felt like their treat so they really loved it, plus we all got to try a new place!
