Liz@thisfullhouses last blog post..Parenting Tip #1,910,653: Taking the "I" Out of the Holidays

And you singing O Holy Night…makes me weepy too. Theres something about that song, and when the “Fall on your knees” part starts, I cry every time. I wish I could hear you sing it.

every christmas growing up my family donated a meal (a frozen turkey, box of stuffing, all the side items that come either frozen or boxed and dessert) to a family in need. we never knew a name, just how many people in the family. also our local radio station did a toy drive. you call in and either say you want a boy or girl or that you don’t care, and they’d give you the age, what they want, something they NEED (coat, mittens and hat, boots) and a number to put on the packages. i would always help and it really did teach me about how giving as fun if not MORE fun that getting and that there are those less fortunate then my family. i have vivid memories of shopping at Kmart for a kid i didn’t even know. i hope to do this with jamison as well.

And Burgh Baby – you brought tears to my eyes.
