As of late all my blogs have been sad,or negative things that truly happend in my life. But it was not all bad. I have had great experinces also.
Every year at my old job, we would raise money to buy gifts for kids that came from poorer homes and went to a low income school in our area. Our boss would dress up as santa and his assistant mgrs would dress as elves. Anyone who wanted to come was welcome to come with us when we delivered the gifts before Christmas break. They would be so excited when handing out the gifts. In a way you could see yourself at hat age looking back at you in their eyes, you could relate to what they were going through. You know what it feels like to go hungry. You know what it is to truly be poor. It was amazing to see the gratitude that they had, and how thankful they were. For some, it was the only gift they would get for Christmas. No one would ever open it right there. Every single kid would leave it wrapped and take it home with them. It was all worth it to experience that. I have never felt the way I did that day. It was an amazing experience. I am happy I got to experience it. I did not know that it would become an important memory to cherish. It felt good to help people. Even donating coats that we didnt wear to the shelters, or havig a can food drive. If you have never done anything like that I would recommend you do it. Its not about the attention, its about those less fortunate and what we could do to help. Donating school supplies, uniform shirts to schools for kids that cant afford them. Every little thing, no matter how small it is helps out someone in some way, and even if you only help one person then you have succeeded.

Yeah, great thing to do. We have all kinds of things like that here in NZ. I think I am very fortunate to live in such a caring country. And I know the feeling when you do something for someone (no matter how big or small), it gives you a real good buzz.

Aww what a nice thing they did. We have a few places here in Toronto that do the same thing. Every year they give gifts to people that can't afford to give gifts to children. It a wonderful sight to see the smiles on the kids faces. I am glad that people do these nice things because not everyone can afford Christmas or sometimes the kids birthday.
