Sharing our Blessings by: Mariana Gomez

Christmas is a time to give and my family has always thought me to be thankful for all we have and what we don’t have and to give to those less fortunate and in need. We have always been involved in serving our community in any way possible to our capacity and with a willing heart. The satisfaction of putting a smile to achild or a family it´s just amazing and I want to share some ideas with you for this year´s Christmas season.  As a way of showing how thankful we are for having more than what we really deserve and as a way of sharing those blessings with others every year my family and I clean our closets of cloth and shoes in good conditions and take them to the girl´s orphanage or to a shelter. We also collect blankets and drive around the streets and give them to the homeless. Last year some friends and I also went to a nursing home and sang Christmas carols to the elderly and even do we did not had a great voice we had a great time and actually made new friends. Christmas is all about planning, gathering, spending time with the family and friends and receiving presents but there´s no better present than to be able to
make someone´s Christmas.
