The spirit of giving

December 14th, 2006 at 09:00 pm

My daughter and I went shopping for toys yesterday. My husband truly wants very little for Christmas, so DD and I decided to take some of the money we might have spent on DH for Christmas and instead by toys to give to children in need of some holiday cheer. All in all we bought 12 or 13 toys. We're going to write DH a letter and take a picture of all the toys, then wrap that up and give it to him on Christmas. I think he will like that very much.

A week or so ago we went caroling at a nursing care facility. The residents there seemed happy to have the visitors, and I'm thinking now of using up some of my yarn stash to make small lap afghans for them.

We have so much, and there are so many who are in need.

Nice ideas! And kudos to you for visiiting at a nursing home. Was an activity director at nursing homes for a couple decades & it was great to see the community getting involved.

and i like your idea for using up some of your yarn stash to knit stuff for the nursing home too... i bet they will enjoy the extra cozyness...
