I found this over at my friend Mary's blog and I am posting this so we can all join in and share our Christmas Spirit with others.
Sharon at Sit With Me Awhile and Mary at Mary's Writing Nook would like to encourage the women and men in our blogging community to start a sweet tradition.We would like to get everyone involved-even the children.
We want to be a blessing in His name this year.We would like you to come up with an idea that will enable you to reach out to someone in need during this Christmas season. If you are already involved in some type of Christmas giving tradition, we would like to hear about that too.Here are some ideas:
*Collect food for a food bank
*Shoeboxes by Franklin Graham
*Angel Tree-they provide gifts for children with parents in jail

Glad you joined in sweetie.
Good morning Carolyn, I give food to the food bank at our church,give a gift from the Angel tree,and put money in the Salvation Army kettle ..I need to do more.. thanks for the list.. Happy Sunday. Baba
Such lovely sentiments - I wonder if there's anything similar happening here in the UK. Thanks for the recent visit and comment :).
Oh - hope you don't mind - I've tagged you with a meme over at Siani's Pot-Pourri.
Carolyn,
Thanks so much for posting this. I would like to see lots of bloggers become involved. It takes so little, really to give a blessing to those less fortuate. Even a pair of mittens donated for a needy child helps out.
Appreciate your thoughtfulness, my friend.
Blessings and a big smile,
Mary
