As we go about our celebrations this season, lets remember that we are very lucky for the things we have, and remember that some people have nothing. Literally, nothing. With the rising prices, horrible economy, you would not believe the number of homeless or poverty stricken children in this country. I remember a few students I had when I was teaching that were happy when gifted with hand me down clothes. You would not believe the smiles on their faces when we would give them a brand new to them jacket or shoes. I wish I could have done more, and helped them all, but sadly it is not possible alone.
But if every person would just donate a little something, we could make this season special for many others. You can start by just putting your change in the salvation army's buckets or just buying one toy to donate to toys for tots! Even something that small will add up. If every person would just take this small action, it would add up. Grab an angel of the tree and teach your children to give back. Let them buy a present for a child their age. It starts with you. So remember that we have a lot to be thankful for, and make a child's Christmas by donating a little something. It does make a BIG difference. :-)
