Christmas Eve To-Do-List
What Christmas Eve looked like for me...minus the food preparation and dish washing and basic parenting that just happens. 1. Go through the stash of goodies we have collected and outgrown and pick out gifts for our security guards to give to their children for Christmas. 2. Listen to a grown man giggle when he is radioed to come to the security gate and to be handed toys for his daughter. 3. See their love for one another as they radio their coworkers to come and meet us. 4. See a man smile big with something as simple as 2 small balls. 5. Go shopping on the street to give our local vendors some holiday cash. 6. Make your shopping list of who to shop from next so everyone gets some business. 7. Shop on credit...not a good idea. "You take it. You can pay me later." They will get you every time! 8. Share jokes, laughter, and love with young men you are beginning to really care about. 9. Let your 9- year- old bake on her
