Very nice ideas!

I really like the way you think. For me, that is what christmas is really about. Helping those who have nothing,or less than you, and spending quality time with your family. Its amazing how warm you feel inside on christmas morning when your whole family is there together, happy and laughing. Recently there was quite a big argument in my family and so i didnt see some of my family. Now its been sortedoutand at christmas we'll all be together again. Im only a 12 year old girl so im pretty excited already! All i have left to say is merry christmas to every single one of you!
Great thoughtful ideas!
