Holy Moly Only........

20 more days till Christmas I am soooooo far behind ugh!!!!!!

and now its Friday again. Where does the time go.

History Channel has a great little tidbits on the History of Santa. I am a history buff in case you haven't noticed lol.

I watched on the evening news so many children left on the angel tree. I know many of us can't do an angle tree but if you can spare a little over a dollar there are Hot wheels and some little girl things that can be bought and put into the Toys For Tots collection.

If you create things Check with the local charities and see if you can donate something.

A little thing goes a long way when there is nothing.

I would love to put forth when you are buying for your Christmas Dinner this year to buy one item on your list and put it into any of the food drives. I personally have been buying extra can goods and plan on some boxes of candy canes, I was thinking the other day I wonder if they are OK but I bet they are and they last forever heck I forgot a box last year and found it again in the spring and they where still good, and whats Christmas without Candy Canes.

So please I totally understand that we are all meek times trust me still waiting to do the Christmas shopping here for the kids, but I bet we all have some loos change around that we could turn into a little toy or that extra non perishable food, that will help a family enjoy their Christmas a little more.

Have you ever seen a boy with those little Hot Wheels, little girls with some pretend jewelry or doll clothes even the little pretend baby bottles for dolls, Jacks for boys, an egg of silly putty, a punching balloon all these things can be bought for under $2 many right around a Dollar. These little things can be such a difference in a family that has nothing for Christmas

Oh and of course don't forget the Elderly the ones that are in the nursing homes, the neighbor that has no family near by. Bring them a Card, a plate of cookies, maybe some leftovers from the Christmas dinner. Something little means the world to those who have nobody on Christmas Day. Even to go in and sit with them on Christmas Eve or Day and listen and Share stories of Christmas.

Such little gestures are something everyone can do even for a few minutes.

Something You Can do this year

I know with economy everything is hard. Its gonna be hard to take that Angel of the tree to buy for this year.

There are many churches in everyone's area that do put together baskets and gift packages for people that wouldn't get anything this year.

I saw in Walmart games for $5, many actions figures under $6 and Hot will are still under a dollar. So if you cannot do an Angel tree child. Grab one item and donate to a church or drop off for toys for tots. Even a little item like Hot wheels, a package of markers, a coloring book does wonders.

And for Thanksgiving, Churches and food banks will even take Just one can. I noticed our grocery store has Many canned goods under 75 cents. Our school does a can drive so we send in one each for kids (wish we could do more) but anyhow I think if everyone just picked up a can of vegetables, or a box/bag of stuffing, and donated it would mean the world to a lot of people,families, and children. Its sad to say there are so many worse off, I picture so many kids without anything to open, and families not having anything but maybe a loaf of bread for Thanksgiving. If all some of us can do is just one item that could add up to so much more.

If your Grocery store like ours puts up a place out front for Food drive. even if it means rolling up some pennies grab a little something to put into that offering. Go without one thing for Thanksgiving and give it to those in need.

Christmas when you are out shopping grab even a dollar item and donate it. If all the 100's of visitors that come here did that little thing think of how much ONE Person can make a difference
