Christmas means...

It's 1:39 a.m. Christmas Eve Morning. I just had to write down some of my feelings. I have been SOOOOO blessed this Christmas. I have had the privilege to be the Relief Society President at the best time of the year. I've done the giving tree and delivered gifts to families in need. We even had Santa visit them. I stood at the sidewalk and cried as I heard the kids yell "Santa!" when they saw who was at the door. THAT'S what Christmas is all about.
Today the Bishop told me there was another family in need. He said they had nothing. At the end of Sacrament meeting he announced that if anyone had anything they could donate to talk to me or him and we would put it to good use. MUCH to my surprise we collected nearly $900 plus gift certificates to various places! It was Sunday and I couldn't go shopping but I stayed up until midnight and bolted out the door, I was SO excited!! These kids are going to have a great Christmas and so am I. I've learned so much about charity this year. My heart is so full this Christmas season knowing I had a small part in making Christmas wonderful for somebody else. I am so happy for the opportunity!!!!!
