RE: Re: Here are some progress pics
My wife and I were discussing doing something on Christmas eve to brighten the holiday a little for some who may need it.
We don't have the money to donate to some of our usual charities this year so we are going to volunteer somehow.
At first we thought about volunteering at a soup kitchen, but we want our kids involved and they are a bit young for that.
We're thinking about going to a nursing home or two and visiting with the elderly. Some of them may not have any family or may not see any family on Christmas so we were thinking about making cookies and ornaments to bring. Whenever we go to visit a family member of ours that has been reduced to full time care as a result of a severe stroke very many of the elderly light up when they see our kids.
We're pretty exited about doing it and teaching our kids about the need and the joy of service to others.
Anybody do this kind of stuff - volunteer in another way, donate, etc?
