Week 8- The Giving

Christmas Is almost here and I again encourage people to donate to the less fortunate. As some may think, Christmas Is the greatest holiday of them all, but to others It Isn't. Some receive presents, some give presents, but others watch people give and receive because they can't participate In either due to their lack of funds. Christmas Is for those whom are generous enough to give presents to others without expecting anything In return, but what about those who can't afford anything to give? When I was younger, all I thought about when It was Christmas was receiving presents. Now I think about all of those who can't celebrate Christmas. Let me tell you, during Christmas, there are some many places you can donate items to. First of all, you can ask around your neighborhood. Schools always take toys to give to the less fortunate. Churches of course take toys for kids. Since It's almost Christmas, these Items can Include toys of mostly any kind, Christmas decorations Including ornaments, trees, snowmen, candy canes, etc. This week, I've been putting up decorations for Christmas. We have like four candy canes that say "Feliz Navidad" In our front lawn, 3 light up Christmas trees also In the front lawn and a pair of Inflatable snowmen on our roof. We had ornaments left over so we gave them to neighbors who didn't have any. I helped our other neighbors put up their Christmas decorations since their elderly now and well can't exactly climb up on a ladder. The past Sunday In church, the Father said they were accepting toy donations so the next day, I brought my old toys and gave them to the church. Since It's almost Christmas, I again encourage everyone to get In that giving mood. The Salvation Army also accepts money donations, they're usually outside supermarkets with buckets for donations. Once again, get In that generous giving mood and don't be a Scrooge and donate.
