Christmas Giving.

POSTED December 29, 2008 BY Ian

Now this year me was not really a typical Christmas..why? Well, if you read my last post I went to White Spot with just my Dad; usually my family does it up with friends with a nice cooked meal. What also changes this year is that my Dad and I handed out wrapped gifts that we purchased (actually Dad did) from Army and Navy. We have handed out clothing before, but this time the clothes were not used, which made it better especially for the people getting a present on Christmas day. The faces I saw that day made me feel..well really good inside – I mean big smiles and just you could see the warm thank you’s in the peoples faces after they received a package or just a pair of wrapped gloves.

Basically, we drove up through the Granville street alley ways, and then made it through Hastings; that was our last place to hand out gifts, since we just did not want to give out present to addicts/drug dealers. We had packages that consisted of gloves, socks, and a sweater – also categorized it in different sizes for different shapes.

I felt really good for going out this year, and hope I can make a routine for every Christmas to come. Just helping out a few people makes a difference, does not take that much either to grab a few gifts – even for gloves. Each year I come to a realization that it does not matter getting gifts.. I’d rather be able to give something, and see someone’s face glow than get a million gifts.
