Yes, I got the ph...Okay, I've got to write in.<br /><br />Yes, I got the phone call. And BJ, Hetty and I were all that he event, where we wrapped the presents with everyone else and then went home. The saddest thing for me was, the gifts were left on the doorstep in big black plastic garbage bags -- and the presents we had donated were in the mix. It made me so mad that they didn't even acknowledge that we would be getting the gifts. It felt so humiliating and non-personal. I'm not sure if the other youth knew who would be getting the gifts or just the leaders.<br /><br />Second, the food was a separate delivery I think. It was the same night but I don't think the same group. I think this because we got another call saying there was a box at the back door. What made me sad about this was, our mom is a fabulous cook who makes most things by scratch. The food box had gravy mix in it and I was so offended. "My mom NEVER uses gravy mix! Don't they know my mom is too good of a cook for that?" <br /><br />Now whenever I am asked about Christmas service or helping someone at Christmas -- I always tell them to not be ashamed of the service. Give the gifts to someone, tell them Merry Christmas, show them that you love them and don't just have pity on them. Yes, I do think there are times for anonymous service (like especially when it is just cash), but I think around Christmas time when feelings are already very tender -- looking someone in the eye, giving hugs, and giving the gifts, etc. is the best way to go.MarySquarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14926563249612153601noreply@blogger.com
