For the past few years, since moving to Chicago, I have participated in a program where I 'adopt' a child in a low income community. What this entails is that the child will write a letter to Santa and then the letter is delivered to me. I then purchase gifts for the child based on their wish list and also on practicality. I then wrap the gifts up and they are delivered to the child's school where the teacher hands them out.
I just received my letter yesterday.
This year, my child is a 3 1/2 year old girl. Her wish list includes a pink coat, a pink stocking hat and a Dora the Explorer doll. She even drew me pictures of each item. :)
I think Santa and I can work something out to make sure she gets everything on her list. ;)
Tis the season for giving, folks. Wouldn't it be great if everyone who reads this blog buys an extra gift for a child this year and then drops it off a Toys for Tots location? (hint, hint)
