Give A Little Love

Can't say anything better than that.  I watched it twice.  Enjoy.  

Watch out Santa! You've got some Competition!

Hey All!  Happy December!  Hope your week is going better than mine... Cold season hit me hard this week.  But It's another hard hitter that I would like to shout out to today.  Andre Johnson, Receiver for the Houston Texans has made the list of awesome good deeds this holiday season.   

During his rookie season, Johnson created a charity for at risk children in the Texas area.  This year he provided them with almost 20,000 worth of Christmas gifts from a local Toys-R-Us.  The 12 children that were sponsored had 80 seconds to put anything they wanted into a cart for themselves and their siblings.  What I wouldn't have given to see that mad dash!  

This is such a great way to kick off the season of giving, providing some joy for these kids, all of which are currently in Texas Child Protective Services.  Childhood goes by so quickly, and its nice to see someone out there helping these kids save a little piece of those years.  They go by to fast for everyone, but even more so for children dealing with issues that many of these children face.  

If you are interested in donating a toy to a child this year your local Toys for Tots would be happy to accept them.  This is a good reminder to us all that the Holidays aren't just about the eggnog french-toast  mistletoe, and spiked punch at holiday parties... though that's what most of us look forward to the most!  Give a gift to someone you don't know this year.  It will make their day... and likely yours too.
