Among the hustle and bustle, it’s important not to lose sight of the spirit of the holiday season. It’s a time to celebrate with friends and family, a time to appreciate what you have and to provide to those who have little. Feeding the hungry, providing clothes and warm blankets to the poor and giving special but simple gifts is a long-standing Christmas tradition.
In an effort to keep this tradition at the forefront of our holiday celebrations, a group of colleagues and I chose to provide for the needs of others – in this case, boys and girls ranging from age 6 – 10. Each of us filled Sterilite shoeboxes with small toys, hygiene items and school supplies as a means of reaching out to underprivileged children this holiday season. Our donations went to a local charity that provides year-round assistance to families in need.
So as you make your holiday plans, consider keeping others in mind by donating to one of the many charities that provide for the needy this time of year. Go ahead – give it a try and discover the true meaning of Christmas spirit!

This really is the true meaning of the holidays and I commend your efforts to share with those who are less fortunate.
