How fun about your tree! And the first year a little one can decorate it is so precious!

It is those little things that people forget about. So sad!

It is amazing how much consumeristic Christmas has become in our culture, even so much more than even when we were kids it seems. I love the idea of doing a service project or giving to charity at Christmas time. When I worked at the children’s hospital, each year, instead of giving gifts to each other, our dept. adopted a family and gave them all the things they had on their Dear Santa list. Things like shoes, pants, socks, underwear, a watch, a rubber ball for the kids, etc. It was really wonderful to give to a family that really needed it and to give things that were actually useful and not just junk that people will throw away or re-gift. Thanks for keeping it all in perspective, Unknown Mami. That is why I love you!

Merry Christmas, Mami!

Great post Unknown Mami!

I’m sure I could turn into a contortionist by your next trip.

So happy Put Pie was about to decorate with you this year. It’s a wonderful tradition to share with her.

Feel good and Merry Christmas, jj

A big bag of money….I have always wanted to stand on a street corner and hand out money. Wouldn’t you love to watch the looks on people’s faces?

When we went downtown to watch DoodleBug’s African Dance class perform, we saw a homeless man a couple of blocks down and he was looking at something. By the time we got there, said man was gone but it was a pair of shoes someone left on the street that his gaze was upon. I felt TERRIBLE that we hadn’t been close enough because I wanted him to have my shoes. We couldn’t find him. I’ve been thinking about him since and am in the process of finding out how to help. And you’re right–it’s not whether you have millions of dollars to throw out there it’s the giving heart that makes a lasting difference! Beautiful post!
