Christmas count down

Okay... first day of the true holiday season for Christmas. So everyday until the big day, I will try and bring a bit of Christmas spirit to Funch.

Today's cheer is an easy one. Our store and the Maries have gotten together for a Toys for Tots drive. Yesterday, all day long, I rang up toys, toys, toys! I was so impressed by how many people came in just to buy toys for that good purpose. And not just small purchases that were cheap. People truly dipped into their pockets. Children came in with their savings to buy and give. Amazing. It was an exhausting but blessed day.

Gotta go get ready to do it again now. I hope this season brings you all joy and peace.

    That's so cool. I try to remember to always have change on me to throw into the Salvation Army bucket at Christmas time.

    That's awesome! Besides Toys for Tots, the local bikers have toy runs and they do really well, considering how small a community we are.

    We donated many bags of food this November and a thick heavy quilt for the school's blanket drive. Now it's time to think about including some toys into the mix. I always try to buy stuff that will stick with a kid for a long time.
