女儿preschool同学的4岁生日，在我们这儿的museum of fine arts办。 今天收到信说不要带礼物，请将钱捐给抗击儿童癌症的研究：
We are so excited you can attend Sofia's birthday on September ***! Although all we would ever want--for real--is your presence, we know many of you might want to bring a birthday gift. Please resist! :) This year, we would like to ask that you consider donating to St. Jude's Children's Hospital instead of buying a gift for Sofia. Many of us have loved ones or dear friends who have been affected by cancer, and it gives us hope to know that our contributions could help other families and kids who are going through this disease. If you would like to make a small donation in lieu of a gift, please visit our fundraising page: http://birthdays.stjude.org/＊＊＊＊ Thanks and we can't wait to see you soon

我觉得这真是好棒的点子。不只是寿星，其它小朋友也会得到好棒的关于“大”的一场教育啊！
只是在这种情况下，真的就不必送礼物了吗？小朋友会不会还是希望收到礼物的？——其实我们礼物都买好了。。。
