Day Two Hundred Forty-Nine

Hey! Christmas Crazy!

We're a few weeks into our little project where we translate kindness from the internet into gifts for kids who could use a little magic this holiday season. So far, we have a pile of nearly $3000 worth of magic. Given the ~literally everything~ going on around us, I'm thinking we can call this whole party a success when we get to $5000.

Yes, that is half of our normal pile of magic. Yes, that does make me sad. Yes, it is very understandable, though. A few of the connections I usually count on for a favor or ten aren't going to work out this year. And this year has been HARD for a lot of people.

Despite that, there have been a few people who have worked some serious magic.

Each and every small act matters. Have no doubt about that. The small acts add up to big acts and that is how we get this done every year. But sometimes a few big acts come along and they push us a little further. So, Cheryl, thank you. Your big act was a big help.

And Rose.

Rose is a local author. She's the author of this book, in fact. She donated a huge pile of said book, which is pretty fantastic considering it's a great book for older kids. Thank you, Rose.

Little by little and big by big ... we're getting there. We've got another two weeks to wrap this whole thing up for the year. So, LET'S DO THIS.
