Reading this brings me so much joy.
I like the Angel tree program since one is able to buy the very much needed items.
Although we do not have such programs here directly, individuals take up charity course like this on a personal note.
My friends grandma and families have a widows ministry she runs and all through the year there is fund raising from herself and individuals who care to donate,
these funds are used to buy a new change of clothes, food supplies and others for widows in our communities at christmas.
We usually hold christmas carols with the disabled and people of special needs giving out gifts to them...
Most of the Christmas love and giving in on individual level.
Am just happy and glad that you have taught the kids that virtue, its a blessing to have a heart of giving.
I did a general survey of peoples financial activities during this festive period and gave a piece of how we can stay happy and contented with whatever we have if we cannot afford all we need in this season..
Christmas is more about love rather than worldliness and search for fun.
