[quote=Anonymous]If the kids had chosen the charity, or if it was one for which the kids had some connection/interest, I would say this is actually a very lovely gift. In that case, I would instruct the kids on how to write an appropriate thank you note. If MIL's charity of choice is something you and your spouse approve of or at least do not actively disapprove of, I would find the gift strange but still have the kids write thank you notes at least for the thought behind the gesture. If MIL's charity of choice is objectionable to you, I would write one note from the family thanking MIL for thinking of us during the holiday season but without mentioning the charity donation. I could not thank her for doing something in my children's names that I specifically disapproved of and would have preferred not be done on our behalf (or at all). [/quote]
