So, do you give up anything for Lent?  I have not in a very long time, but this year, I am giving up shopping.  No shopping for anything but necessary food.  No stocking up, no extras, just what we need to eat.

No. Lent was never part of our doctrine.

I never even heard of it until I was in my 20s.

 That is a good idea.  I might use it.

I used to give up something for Lent. Now, I try to add something for Lent.

I try to add being extra nice to others. I try to add extra giving. But I do it anonymously. I will leave an extra tip. I will pay for someone else's meal. I will pay it forward somewhere, somehow. I have sent gift cards to people in need.

No, giving up something for Lent was not a part of my religious upbringing.

We don't do Lent.

I know a girl who gives up Facebook every year. So that means I don't see her daily crossfit/running photos and posts for a while.

I hate to set myself up for failure, so no.
