I've been wanting to write this blog for a couple weeks now, but didn't know how to word it and stay entertaining....
I still don't, but feel the need to write about it anyway.
Every Christmas, I love buying and donating unwrapped kids toys to the different stores that have it.
I'm not saying I go overboard, most of it is at the dollar store.
In fact, last year they had a twofer stuffed animal pack.
TWO stuffed animals for a DOLLAR!!!
Buy ten bucks worth, snip the little platic thing attaching the two and...
BAM!!!
Ya just made TWENTY kids' Christmas a little better.
Now before you think "well, they're just cheap little stuffed animals" PLEASE look at it through the child's eyes...
When I was a kid, my mom had to actually turn to charities a couple of times to make sure me and my brother had something under the tree.
(If you're a parent, you KNOW that had to be hard)
Out of that, I got this lil' jackass which I named "HEE-HAW" which has always been one of my favorite toys and to this DAY sits on top of my DVD case as a reminder.
Now, lil' HEE HAW maybe just cost 5 to 10 bucks and the person that gave it probably has nooooo idea it actually gave a child comfort during tough times and now is giving a grown man a smirk or two as an adult, but that's my point...
This season folks, please remember to GIVE....
...even if you'll never see the child's smile...
