Operation Christmas Child

A fairly new tradition for our family during the holidays is wrapping Operation Christmas Child boxes.   We started two years ago and it is a favorite for the kids. Each child chooses toys and items for a girl or boy matching their age. They really think hard about the best thing to put in each box before it is shipped around the world to some very special children. This is what they came up with this year.

Putting together the boxes.

I added a few more practical things like soap, washcloths, and other toiletries before wrapping them up and sending them off. With the arrival of the boxes, the children receiving them will also hear the wonderful news of Christ our Savior. What a wonderful Christmas gift indeed! We will get an email in a few weeks letting us know where our boxes ended up.
