We decided to join in on this fabulous reminder of what Christmas is all about!My family has made our list for the 12 Days of Giving! Heidi at Sacred and Profane started this last year and I think it is a wonderful way to give back. It shows my kids that Christmas is really about helping others and not all about themselves. So these are the 12 things my family is going to do.
1. Help serve breakfast at the local mission
2. give canned goods to the local food bank
3. they each buy a toy to donate to Toys for Tots
4. send Christmas cards to the troops
5. send a care package to Kain's pen pal which is serving in Iraq
6. give money to the Salvation Army bell ringers
7. give to the Lottie Moon Christmas fund to help keep missionaries out on the field
8. Donate 2 chickens in memory of my mom to our sponsored child {Pamela} home country through World Vision
9. Pick 2 children from the Angel Tree and buy gifts for them
10. visit the shut-ins and sing Christmas Carols
11. deliver meals to the home bound for Mobile Meals
12. let the kids bake and give it to their great grandparents
