Happy Friday Everyone :)
Today I'm going to be stepping away from my usual bookish posts.
This week is national collection week for Operation Christmas Child, a charity that's very dear to my heart.
If you're unfamiliar, it's an annual Christmas charity operated by Samaritan's Purse that aims to provide children in lesser fortunate countries with Christmas gifts packed in a shoe box. Every year Neil, myself and various other of my family members enjoy packing shoe boxes to help spread some Christmas cheer, and it's become one of our favorite traditions of the season.
As it is collection week, it may be too late for you to pack a physical box of your own, but there's always other ways to participate, and it you're interested, check out more info here.
I thought it would be fun to share with you guys what I included in my box this year:
Neil and I did two boxes together, one for a boy in the middle age group and one for a girl in the middle age group, but unfortunately I don't have any pictures of the boy's box, as Neil was the one that packed that one. However, here's all the goodies I packed into the box for the little girl.
I included: a Disney notepad, some Christmas pencils with erasers, hair ties, fuzzy socks, two combs, a toothbrush, a bar of soap, a slinky, a box of crayons, themed band aids, a My Little Pony, and stuffed tiger, which was my favorite thing I included this year.
I'm so thankful to the Samaritan's Purse for continuing to run this awesome holiday charity that truly emphasizes the true reason for the season, and the importance of giving back.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and I thank you so much for joining me today here on The Preppy Book Princess.
