Yesterday Matt and I started a new holiday tradition for the both of us. These days, money is very tight for us and we don't have much to give to others. But we do realize that we have it better than a lot of people do. Our apartment complex is having a canned food drive. We gathered up five cans and took it down to the office. Sadly, we were the only ones to contribute so far. That's pretty sad.
Then, we went to K-Mart for the sole purpose of buying two toys - one for a boy and one for a girl - for the local Toys For Tots. We didn't get really expensive toys, but we both had a lot of fun shopping for our "kids." Sadly, the Toys For Tots bin wasn't even a quarter full.
I'm not trying to sound preachy here. But if you can spare even a can of food or one toy, why not do it? Think if everyone did that!
