Operation Christmas Child: Year 2



It is hard to believe it has almost been a year since I ran around town gathering a shoebox here and a shoebox there. What is really hard to believe is that I am signing up for another year after I wrapped 40 shoe boxes! :) It was well worth it and I know the kids enjoyed every individual piece of the Christmas box! My Dad has to be proud, he loved a smiling child!

With all of that said, here we go again. Gather your shoebox and start to packing it up! I can hardly wait to start the whole process! I have already ordered the "Santa" paper and it should be here next week! I have also purchased a few Bible story activities to place in each box to really show these kids what it is all about!

I learned a few lessons last year and I am ready to do better this year! The first lesson I learned was to start early, so we are doing just that! I need all Christmas boxes by Nov 1st. It would be great if you can get it to me earlier!

If your did not receive an email for some reason about this project please leave me a message and I will be sure to forward it to you.

Oh, what a better day to start this project off than today! We started this tradition in Memory of my Dad and his love for Christmas and Children. Today is his Birthday. Do you think he might be eating an OLE MISS CAKE? HOTTY TODDY!
