He's Back

Hi, Internet. I need to take a moment to ask you to travel down memory lane with me, okay? Okay.

Remember Benjamin? No? Go read this.

I'll wait.

Still waiting.

It's totally worth it.

Okay, so did you happen to notice the date on that post? It was 2011. Let's stop and think about that for a second. Firstly, we've been doing Christmas Crazy since well before 2011. THAT'S NUTS. And for as long as Christmas Crazy has been a thing, Benjamin has made it a point to make sure he made the pile a little bit bigger. Every year.

Every. Single. Year.

He did it again this year.

In recent years, this has all gone down in parking lots in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the season. I like to think that looks shady to someone, if only because it's funny to imagine what strangers must think of a kid (young adult now, practically) loading a bunch of toys into the back of an adult's car in the back corner of the mall parking lot.

It's pretty awesome is what I think.

So, thanks again, Benjamin. I think your way of celebrating birthdays and Christmas might be my favorite of all.

So proud of my nephew for his commitment to Christmas Crazy and giving back to his community not just in this way but in other ways as well!
