This year, we are joining in the Operation Christmas Child giving program, through our church. This was an excellent way to teach Peter about the art of giving and what a great example Jesus was, and what he gave to US! It took him a couple days, of seeing all the presents sitting on the counter, in a shoebox, to understand that these gifts for for another chid, that he has never met. . . and they were NOT for HIM! But, he is beginning to understand this idea very well, and we are proud of him for that.

We did a Christmas Child box too...the girls actually picked out everything to go in it from Target (with a little guidance from Mommy). Emma was visibly shocked when I explained that there are little ones in the world who don't have money to go buy a hat and mittens in the winter, never mind toys. They put the stuff in the box and decorated it and Emma personally carried it into church. I hope it got them thinking...
BTW, LOVE the Bing Crosby version of "Jingle Bells!"
