More Operation Christmas Child...

...It just warms my heart that y'all are so interested in OCC...

...someone asked about what to put in the boxes...

...the specific instructions are on the Samaritan's Purse - Pack a shoe box page

...but I'll happily show you all the stuff we crammed into one of our boxes...

...we included some gloves, candy, a car, a ball, toothbrush, toothpaste and holder, a plastic soap container full of soap and a washcloth, a T-shirt and two pairs of socks, a stuffed lovey, a coloring book and crayons and a sticker book...

...carefully packed, it all fits into the standard OCC shoebox...

...tie it up with some yarn or rubber bands and stick your label on and you're done and you've brightened a child's life...

Thank you for posting those links. I think this will be a great thing to do with my kiddos this year to get them thinking more about giving. :)

Wonderful. Preparing those boxes really is the spirit of Christmas, and I think of being a caring human being. Just beautiful!
