The tree just went up last night. And we've already got a pile o' presents underneath, courtesy of our crafty children.
Madeleine is also hard at work making presents for the homeless. Inspired by a video she watched at Sunday School today about a family living in poverty, she has decided we should descend upon a homeless shelter with homemade gifts. And maybe some real gifts too! So far, she has made or collected:
-A paper ornament. (Because apparently Madeleine assumed one must have a Christmas tree even if one has no home)
-A cardboard cane made out of an empty wrapping paper tube (I'm sure that will be sturdy enough to support the weight of an injured human)
-A pile of coins from her piggy bank (She's not giving dollars, because she's saving up)
-Some old socks she has outgrown (Who doesn't want teeny socks with holes??)
Watch out, folks. This kid is gonna change the world. One cardboard cane at a time!
