Each year there is this amazing ministry called Operation Christmas Child. Our church is a part of it and we decided to participate this year. This ministry delivers shoe boxes full of Christmas gift all over the world to children who would normal not receive them. Our church is the collection center for Utah Valley, I think. My friend Ashley said that when all the boxes are gathered from all the churches and individuals there will be about 700 boxes!!
Our homeschool group filled 10 and that got me motivated to do some from our family. The kids had a great time picking out stuff to go in the boxes. We filled them with soap, washcloths, candy, toys and school supplies. I think this will become part of our Christmas tradition.
