As a teen, I thought it was a good idea. Our YW and YM groups both put in money to buy presents for the less fortunate. We wrapped them up and then about a week before Christmas we took them over to the persons house. I can't imagine how horrified the family was when 20-some white people showed up at their door unannounced. Yes, they were grateful for the gifts and very nice, but did we really need to see the inside of their home and intrude like that? What happened is that we went away feeling all special and holier than thou, while the people we "gifted" probably felt humiliated and embarrassed. Why can't Mormons get a clue?
