  2. Charitable contributions are important and easier than ever with online portals, but also an easy route for scammers. What should you look out for?
  3. Plan for holiday screen time as a family. Which screen time is preferred?

Which screen time do you want to limit or reduce? What are some alternative activities you will have ready to help us step away from screens?
