Operation Christmas Child

Nick complaining because the box is too heavy.



This year we made a box for Operation Christmas Child which is an organization that sends packages to needy children in third world countries. Nick had such a great time helping fill his box with stuff. We went to Wal-Mart to pick out some stuff and he kept picking up all these big toys and asking if we could get them but I had to keep reminding him the stuff needed to fit in a shoe box. He also wanted to get the boy a DVD and it was a long conversation explaining why they couldn't watch TV because they didn't have electricity. Nick thought that we should send him electricity in the box. We did the next best thing and sent a flashlight with extra batteries. Hopefully, we are instilling in the boys that there is more to Christmas then Santa and presents. I really want them to understand the true reason for the season.
