What? I can give away my family? Sign me up!
My Parish uses Advent Stars to get gifts for those less fortunate. The people that disperse them came with a van. Saw what we had, and went back to get a real truck.
LOL.
‘as how Christmas is all about the birth of Christ and not any of us I have been a little baffled as to why we get the gifts.’
Is it not in recognition of the Gift God gave each of us?
The Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.
