Results: Should this family cancel Christmas for their kids?
Published on 12/04/2014
John and Lisa Henderson’s decision to cancel Christmas gift-giving for their children has brought the couple a wave of attention.In an interview with “Good Morning America” correspondent Abbie Boudreau, the Hendersons of Hurricane, Utah, explained why their three sons would not get any presents this Christmas. “They had been acting up quite a bit, and weren't very grateful for the things they had,” Lisa said of 11-year-old Caleb, 8-year-old Davis and 5-year-old Beckham. Time-outs weren’t working, so the Hendersons took drastic measures. John, a 34-year-old civil engineering estimator, proposed that no Christmas presents be given to the children this year, and Lisa, 36, agreed. The stay-at-home-mom wrote about the plan on her blog, Over the Big Moon, explaining that she and her husband would use the money that would have paid for their children’s gifts to purchase goods for the needy.
