The air is filled with Christmas. Every where you look...Christmas. TV, movies, radio, and yes even my blog is all about Christmas. I have been sharing about the fun and magic of Christmas, but I do not want to discredit the true meaning of the holiday. Jesus is the reason of the season. Luke 2: 11 says "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." To keep things in perspective I think it is important to do things for others during this time of year and all year long.
These are some of the things I participated in.
Gave food box full of holiday foods to a local family that was in need.

I also have a trunk full of clothes for a homeless mission that I volunteer with.
In January I am going on a mission trip to Mexico to pass out Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes. I am so excited.
Are you doing any special giving this Christmas season?

We didnt come across anything specific to make a but donation to - we usually partner up with my chiro and give a needy family a christmas but the organization that does it changed things and now they want gift cards rather than gifts...we were all a bit put off by that since giving out gift cards doesnt mean they will be used to by gifts - I am sure a grocery store card could be used to by Wild Turkey too!
But through my xmas travels I did toss money into Sally Ann kettles and buy boxes of cereal and other non perishables for food drives etc.
