Toys for all the little boys and girls...

I've been at my work place for many years now, and for our Christmas party during each of the years past, we would come up with some sort of twist on a gift exchange... draw a name and buy them a cheap gift or buy a cheap gift and draw a number, steal the gift before or pick a new one... all the while resulting in a cheap gift of something you didn't want that you have to pretend to like and appreciate because your mom taught you to do that when you were young. Well, everyone grumbled and complained, totally disliking the dreaded gift exchange. Fortunately, this year we did something different. Someone in my office had a superb idea. Instead of purchasing a cheap gift for one of our co-workers, we were to bring a gift (or several gifts) for the "Toys for Tots". Well, let me tell you, everyone in my office raved about this change! How wonderful to be able to fall in line with the true spirit of Christmas, give back, bring a smile to some child's face. Wonderful! As it turns out, the office offered a huge response, filling many large boxes with lots of toys!I hope you have a Merry Christmas!
