Be An Elf!
It may be a bit too late this year but I did want to share a neat site I just found. The site is located at www.beanelf.org. One post office in each city has an 'Operation Santa' where all the letters to Santa go. You are allowed to sign in and read these letters. Pick however many children you want to help and bring their letters home so you can fill their wishes. The trick is to find children who may not normally get gifts and choose those letters. Requests for things such as clothing can be big clues. The web site really points out great things to look for.

I had no idea that I could do this and I just wanted to share with all of you generous folks.

Happy Holidays!

4. Thanks for the kicks.
I figure any time you can help someone in need you should spread the word. In this case you are helping keep the spirit of Christmas alive and that can be very important to a child.

6. I understand.
People can also keep it in mind for next year. I hope people see this and decide to do it. It really is a cool thing to do.
