I simply don't know. It's one of those that stick with you your whole life. When I was a Deputy Sheriff, a few of us would start filling our trunks with toys and stuffed animals, fix up bikes that were recovered stolen property but never claimed...and we knew where the children lived who Santa needed to help. I've retired now and I missed it so much, but I buy a little something for the Deputy's Trunk each month...because Santa exists, he's everywhere there is a giving heart and nurturing nature. Wonderful post, thank you and congrats on the Post of the Day mention!<BR/>SandiSandi McBridehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033518416111957858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806088805625443092.post-75987407478022897012008-12-02T01:53:00.000-05:002008-12-02T01:53:00.000-05:00Oh, I have tears in my eyes!

One of my favorite things to do with my kids was to buy presents every year for 3 families in our area who we thought might need help at Christmas time. We'd shop for the presents..wrap them...and then give them anonymously. We used to LOVE to knock on the doors and then run like the wind. It was my kids most favorite part of Christmas every year. I sure hope they continue that tradition when they have kids. It is funny how giving really is so much more fun than receiving...unless of course it's chocolate..then I want to RECEIVE!nikkicrumpethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06127473424859610429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806088805625443092.post-6279037268167402762008-12-01T18:37:00.000-05:002008-12-01T18:37:00.000-05:00I love this post!!!!

Thanks so much for sharing it with us. We are moving to Maryland. A small Navy base in a town called Lexington Park about an hour from DC. It will be fine. Sigh. It's just happening about 3 years sooner than we expected to move. ;( That's the military way of life sometimes. But, a new home for me to decorate huh? TEE HEE! Sounds good. We need to get to Raleigh around that time. My SUV came from a dealership there and it has a light on they need to fix. ~Melissa :)Melissa Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112514946365838427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2806088805625443092.post-71817066432130812752008-12-01T12:32:00.000-05:002008-12-01T12:32:00.000-05:00Hi!!
