Giving Others Christmas: Week 3

When I was little, there was a lot of joy when Sears Wishbook would arrive at our house.

My sisters and I had to take turns looking through the toy section. It filled many hours of our time. Every toy we could possibly think of was in it.

I think we were patient while the other two looked through it. It must have been hard though.

My mom would let us pick one toy out of the section to get for Christmas. We usually got a couple of other things too, but the toy from the Wishbook was the “big gift”.

Choosing a big gift was a huge decision! If you made the wrong choice, you ended up with a dud gift while the others enjoyed theirs.

JDaniel spent hours looking through catalogs and Sunday paper ads to create his wishlist.

I know he is getting some of the things on his wishlist. I am hoping and praying that many other children do too.

How this link up works:

There are so many in need during this Christmas season. I am hoping you will join me in giving to others in your community or beyond this holiday season.

Each week I will feature a way my family is giving to our community during the month of December. I am hoping each of you will take the time to not only give to your community but to write a blog post about it. If you do, I would love for you to link it up below and include a link to this post or this badge.

My posts will go on Sundays, but feel free to share your giving post any day of the week that works for you. The link-up will be available during the rest of the month of December and will appear on every Giving Others Christmas post.

What did we do?

We took some toys to the Toys for Tots bin at our local Big Lots. I really love the organization and it was on my way to JDaniel’s preschool.
