Christmas is a Child:

a friend and I began this 3 years ago...
she gave me a call and said I need your help...

I am the organizer and pr person...

she's the begger...

we both haul and haul...Craig and I are the sorters...Craig is the table set up guy...

We have six tables full- less than half of what we had last year and not very many big money items- last year each child got 2 big money items, 2 medium and 2 of the lesser value- gloves, hats and a candy bag with tooth brushes and tooth paste.

This year it will go 1,1 and 2. There are no hats and gloves and there is not enough money to make the candy bags.

This is what we did this morning at 8 AM.

We hear the beating of wings over Bethlehem and a light that is not of the sun or of the stars shines in the midnight sky. Let the beauty of the story take away all narrowness, all thought of formal creeds. Let it be remembered as a story that has happened again and again, to men of many different races, that has been expressed through many religions, that has been called by many different names. Time and space and language lay no limitations upon human brotherhood. ~New York Times, 25 December 1937, quoted in Quotations for Special Occasions by Maud van Buren, 1938, published by The H.W.
