it's christmastime in the city

The Christmas season is upon us.  The tree is up, the house is lit and the presents are wrapped.  It feels good to be ready.  To sit back and soak in all the Joy of the season.  This year the kids school is participating in a school wide service project.  Each class is collecting Christmas gifts for children at  Faithful Friends.  Even better than that each class is praying for 3 specific kids throughout the school year.  My kids are super excited to "get to know" the kids they are supporting.  The school is also collecting change so we can buy the Faithful Friends House a washer and Dryer.   We have cleared out our whole house of every bit of change we can locate.  The kids are loving it!
