All December our family has been stressing serving one another. We've been doing little service projects for each other at home and we started a neighborhood service project last night. It's great seeing everyone so excited about it. I'm trying really hard not to put the focus on Santa this Christmas, but Aidan's letter was so sweet. I can tell he put a lot of thought into it because he wrote about things that I know he's been working on at home and at school. It almost makes me feel guilty for imposing a 3 gift limit this year (baby Jesus received 3 gifts). But then I get back to cleaning up the clutter around the house, trying to cram one more toy into the toy box, and don't feel bad anymore. I'm grateful that Christmas reminds me how fortunate I am and to try to help those who are less fortunate.

I'd love to hear about your neighborhood service project.
He's a good writer! I wish I could read the whole thing. :)
