Life Lessons

I was looking for different things we could do with Maggie this year to help her realize Christmas is about more than just presents and Santa. We have already gone through the house and donated many items including clothes and toys. Tonight, we made a blanket for Project Linus, a charity that gives blankets to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or otherwise in need. Later, we are planning to take her and donate cans of food at a shelter and we will be making Christmas treats for all of our neighbors. I'm hoping these are all things that will become traditions in years to come.
