The Season of Giving

And this was only for 4 ppl.

My ALL time favorite part of the year is finally here. I love the holiday season sooo much! Just thinking about Thanksgiving and Christmas puts a smile on my face. I love this time of the year the most because its the time to eat and celebrate with family, and the best part exchange presents! Thanksgiving is the best because it's a one night pass to eat as much as you can without worrying about how many calories you're consuming haha. And then black friday, the day of retail therapy, comes after! I personally love waking up at the crack of dawn to go to a mall swarming with pushy people and fight for the best sales! 

Ah don't even get me started on Christmas, my FAV holiday! The decorations, the spirit, the weather, the family; I love every bit of it.

Working at Share Our Strength has opened my eyes to new things pertaining to this season. A lot of families across the country won't get to enjoy all the gifts and good food that I have always had. It breaks my heart to think kids won't get a good meal and PRESENTS! I mean every child thinks about getting presents when they think about Christmas time. This season, I want to do something for those children who won't get to experience the finer parts of the holiday season. 

My organizations provides a lot of opportunity to give back to less fortunate children, which has given me some ideas on how I can personally give back. To start I'm going to try and get my family and friends to purchase these for their presents. So family, friends.. if you're reading, click on the link and buy some! It's an easy way to help children in need.

Holiday Tags -  
SOS has made these gorgeous tags that you can attach to presents. They're 10$ each, but even buying one helps. I mean $10 can give a child meals for a whole month. That's crazy!

 

 Great American Bake Sale -

You can host a bake sale and donate all your proceeds to the organization. I personally enjoy baking. I may not be the best at it, but it's fun to experiment and decorate cookies, brownies, etc. Who doesn't like desserts during the holiday season?! This is going to take more planning, but keep posted for details!

But I hope, if you're reading this. Think of ways that you can help children.  Because we all have to remember how lucky we are and that not everyone is as fortunate as we are :)
