Daily Nugget: 18-Dec-2011

Just in case you live under a bridge or in a bubble, we are seven days away from CHRISTmas. People are flying to stores around the globe purchasing gifts for the ones they love and the ones that love them. I am excited for those kids who are anticipating getting goodies for staying out of trouble and being nice and not naughty. But at the same time, I am saddened by the fact that so many children won't receive or hadn't ever received a gift on CHRISTmas. Thus, I ask all of you to spare a dime or two to assist in providing a gift to those who deserve the same experience as your loved ones. 

Those people from the Salvation Army aren't ringing those bells and fighting the weather just for the minimum wage they get paid. They are doing it because through donations from the public and other organizations, children who normally wouldn't receive on gift is spared the disappointment thanks to the donations of others. Even if you don't want to donate to the Salvation Army, I strongly encourage you to donate to Toys for Tots, or buy an extra gift and donate it to some type of organizations who gives the gift of happiness to many needy children through the form of CHRISTmas presents. I am not asking you to spend a ton of money; hit up the Dollar Tree or something. Just don't let a smile be lost on next Sunday because you choose to overdue it for your loved ones, but you couldn't find it in your purse, wallet or heart to help those who truly need your help.
