One of my big things at Christmas is teaching Miss L that there are children far less fortunate than her and to be charitable. Luckily her school subscribed to Operation Christmas Child where you fill a decorated shoe box with practical gifts for a child in the second and third world.
So tonight we’re decorating the box and Miss L’s going to make a picture to put in it, ‘so somewhere a child knows that we care about them at Christmas’ as she so beautifully put it. I was a very proud Mummy in that moment!
Check out the site, it’s just a little thing to do in the run up to Christmas but it could mean a lot to someone else.

Thank you Liz for the heads-up on this valuable opportunity to give back…so important as we count our blessings this time of year!
What a wonderful thing to do and “way to be” teaching your Child such valuable lessons-

We’ve participated in Operation Christmas Child, too, and it’s always fun. I think it’s so important to teach our children about giving, especially at this time of year. -Julia
