Me and my sweet hubby took a small stack of twenty dollar bills and drove around town blessing those who were wandering the streets on Christmas Eve. <BR/><BR/>Some were in bus stops, some were working...things like that. <BR/><BR/>It's the first time we've done that, and I loved it. To bless others, by surprise, was such a fun gift for me to give. <BR/><BR/>God bless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-40010641371373800822008-12-26T07:32:00.000-08:002008-12-26T07:32:00.000-08:00Jenny, that was really nice of you to help your mu...Jenny, that was really nice of you to help your mum out when she can't go buy a gift for her grandson.

I was an absolute slug yesterday. Took two naps! So I never did get online. :)<BR/><BR/>My favorite gift to give was a donation to World Vision that would buy 5 soccer balls for children in Africa. I did it in my son's honor. He went on a mission trip to Kenya in 2006, and one of the things that really touched him was how much it meant to the orphanage kids that they brought a real soccer ball for them to play with (instead of rolled up trash and string). So it meant a lot to him to know those balls had been sent in his name.Missy Tippenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05480008023330542958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-68587520800981509682008-12-26T06:05:00.000-08:002008-12-26T06:05:00.000-08:00You know, it would be hard to pick one gift.

The top is a bunch of pens and scribed on the side is the saying, "The writer must write what he has to say, not speak it." Quoted from Ernest Hemingway.

I'm sure you all have had fun posting these 12 Days of Christmas and I've enjoyed reading them. ~ The gift I enjoyed giving the most this year certainly wasn't anything fancy or expensive, but the recipient was SO appreciative. The crossing guard in front of my Son's high school risks her life every school day to keep everyone safe, so I prepared a gift bag of assorted candy, cookies, etc. and wrote a special note to her. I am thankful for the job she does! ~ Blessings, Patti Jo :)CatMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09985658721138526298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-55325334356876884222008-12-25T16:11:00.000-08:002008-12-25T16:11:00.000-08:00The best gift I gave is a digital frame to my moth...The best gift I gave is a digital frame to my mother in law and one to my husband who wanted pictures of the family and most of them are on my computer.

I'm amazed again and again at the gift of words you all have!<BR/>The gift I enjoyed giving the most this year was the stuffed animals that were our boys' toys when they were small. My husband brought a big stack of them in, we washed them up, and then sent the boys their own child-toys. We have not heard from them yet but the day is young. We also sent them a little close to THE day so perhaps they didn't get the packages yet.<BR/>Pam Williams<BR/>cepjwms at wb4me dot comPamela Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17612286088140480748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-10838237966327092342008-12-25T08:03:00.000-08:002008-12-25T08:03:00.000-08:00I hate to see it end too!

She knew how hard it was for me to get pictures of my two sons and she also knew how much it would mean to me so she got my son's together, dressed nice and had photos taken and framed. It was the best present anyone could have given me. And all the thought that went into it meant so much to me. And my son's (who hate to have their pictures taken) were so thrilled with what they'd done when they saw how much it meant to me. <BR/>Anyway, it just goes to show gifts from the heart are the best gifts. <BR/><BR/>Merry Christmas everyone!<BR/>DebraDebra Cloptonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858790200554274867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945907563318808519.post-2334114379816281242008-12-25T07:01:00.000-08:002008-12-25T07:01:00.000-08:00I hate to see it end, too.
