Every year I pick a star and buy for a child in need. This year, I have an online buddy, one I met thru some online college classes I took last year. She and her family are in desperate need and she always keeps a positive outlook...it blows my mind. Her son, who is a year younger than my grandson is in need of clothing. I packaged up 2 boxes of clothes that my grandson can't wear anymore and shipped them to her. Along with them, I had some clothes that I grew out of (you would think i'm a kid...but no...it's called getting FAT!! LOL) and I shipped them too. What an awesome feeling to help someone in need....both known and unknown. In the past I've also bought Christmas trees and decorations and delivered to a family I knew couldn't afford one (I delivered them late at night so they wouldn't know where it came from)....It's so awesome to see the trees decorated and in their windows when I drive by their homes
