Today's Question:
Today, make a blog post about what you do to give back during the holidays. Do you volunteer your time? If so, please tell us where. What do you do to teach your children the true meaning of the holidays?
During the holidays we always donate toys to Toy For Tots! Sassy picks out one girl item and one boy item. When she picks out toys she always gives it a lot of thought and would pick something she knows they probably would never get.
Her Brownie Troop last year donated items to a shelter for pregnant single mothers, so this year I plan on taking items to them also!
I feel it is important to give back this time of year! Either with toys or food for those who are struggling! Times are rough this year so I plan on giving back a lot more! When I was 19 the school I worked adopted some of the families of students who went to the school. My mom and I donated items and were the lucky ones to be able to take the items to them! It was very rewarding to see how grateful they were! I am looking into this as well this year!
Teaching my girls the true meaning of Christmas is to teach them about the birth of Christ and what he stood for! Christmas isn't about toys and the commercialism of it all, but it is still important to give back to those in need!

What a neat site. Christmas is so much better when we all give. It's really the best part about it!
Good way to get your kids involved!
I love how into the whole process A is! Your doing right by her mama, good job!
I love Toys for Tots! Great way to help those in need and spread Christmas cheer!
This year is going to be a harder year than usual. I'm like you. I'm so thankful for what I have, and know so many can not give this year who usually do, that I want to give even more. You could say I'm a giving addict - LOL!
I plan on tyring to give more this year too. I see the effects of the economy every day in my job and sometimes it REALLY gets to me.
Toys for Tots is such a wonderful organization!
that sounds really generous.
That is the best thing about giving is seeing how happy someone is
