How Much Joy Can Fit in a Shoebox?

Getting my Christmas kid shoeboxes ready to be delivered to the collection center. They'll be shipped to impoverished areas all over the globe. I made a monetary donation to get a tracking code to see where these end up just out of curiosity.

Three Good Things:
1. Christmas Kid Shoeboxes
2. Unadulterated joy... https://youtu.be/nzUhsxD3OF8
3. Getting things done ahead of schedule for a change :)
Nicely captured and such a good cause - It was a real challenge getting mine packed this year - i was all done and realized the Beanie Baby dog wasn't in there, so I had to start over! My friend who was here last weekend packed 30!

@linnypinny I love this charity, Lin. Kudos to your friend for doing 30!!! Amazing! I might make it a goal to add one each year.

@peggysirk She and her son have been to the distribution center in Atlanta several times - she buys things all year to get ready for it!

@linnypinny That's the way to do it! I think I'll start using the monthly buying guide I saw...could have been on your fB post. Might even add two boxes a year if I get organized with it. 🙂

You have inspired me to do this again Peggy. Schools do it regularly but since I've moved on from school stuff I had forgotten this lovely charity. Those excited faces are truly a pleasure to see, do our own well loved children ever get as excited as that? I have googled & it's The Samaritans that collect here so now I have eighteen days to get organised!!

Sweet!!! Nice to know where they go too!

@happypat Excellent, Pat!! I think this is such a worthwhile cause...and it's obvious from the video how well received those boxes are by the children! I'm going through the Samaritan's Purse too. Seems like a well run organization. 🎄

What a wonderfully worthy cause, and such a happy video to see the joyful delight on those children's faces!
