Ola,
Hope life finds you well these few days before Christmas!
I havent been on in while, so much going on these last few days.
With the run up to Christmas and the uncertainty of my both Grandfather and my Grandmothers health, none of us are really in the Christmas spirit.
So in a bid to try and feel a little Christmassy, hubby and i decided to go and have a look the decorated houses.
There is one house in particular, i had heard about it and was quite keen to see it, now it is in what is referred to as a not such a great area, where the people do struggle quite a bit. So off we go, (forgot the GPS) and got a little lost, but we found it nevertheless........
and this is what i saw
My initial reaction was, this is insane, who actually does this, and then i went inside..... and saw why!
These people help to raise funds so that the disadvantaged can also have a Christmas. I read some of the letters to Santa from these kids and i cried my eyes out.
Those of us that are in a good place, do not really and truly realise what is happening in the world.
So hubby and i got ourselved involved in the project and thanks to some amazing people and their donations, we will be able to bless some people with gifts and a hearty meal (with crackers, i mean, whats sitting around the table with no crackers)!
We will hopefully be doing the drop of on Friday, so really looking forward to it!
Here are some more pics of the decorated house!
May you all have a blessed Christmas, even if you dont celebrate, Happy Holidays, may you all be safe and see you again in 2012!
