and watch the dark living room with just the Christmas Tree aglow...

a small tear forms in the corner of your eye and a big goofy smile spreads across your face...

it's then that you realize how amazing it would be to do this for every kid on the planet. To feel this way multiplied by millions.

Or maybe it's just me. That's one reason I love Christmas. And that's one reason I'll never totally grow up.

And its the reason you're such a good man, Shane. Merry Christmas.

and then you slide back the front room curtain just to ensure there are no ninjas hiding there to steal your presents

Santa vs. Ninjas. Begin!

CeejayWriter: And a very Merry Christmas to you and Ken.

Even better...Santa Ninja Elves!

and Merry Christmas

That is so sweet Shane! Hope you have a great Christmas! -hugs-

My sister delivered presents and food to 750 kids in the last week - took her kids with her. Her 9-yr-old son said it was the best part of

Christmas.

Very nice brother! Merry Christmas!

DjinniGenie: I think that's awesome. Was she working for a certain organization to deliver all of that?

She works for the local 'Family Resource Center' and they always have a tree with tags of kids or families who need help at Christmas.

People come in, take a tag off the tree, go buy things, then bring them to the center and the center wraps and distributes.

That's awesome. I need to see if they have something like that here.

We have a Family Resource Center at MSU. Amazing how many student-families are in dire need.
