The Tots - They Have Toys

Monday, December 12, 2011
Guess what? The Deal that Apparently Never Ends™ still isn't closed. I know - it's really a shocking turn of events. Which means I'm leaving this morning for points East and won't return until Friday. 

But I'll be leaving with this picture in my mind:



This is the haul we took over to our local Toys for Tots collection point on Saturday. We donate every year, but this year we used a different strategy. The Smart Man, my Hot Daughter and I bought toys all year long, and stored them in the basement. So when the holiday season was upon us, we were ready with our contribution. We might have gotten a bit carried away, and I couldn't care less. We dropped these off with a smile on our faces and a song in our hearts, proving once again that helping others is a splendid way to drive away the holiday blues. 


Semper Fi, Merry Christmas, and thank you to the United States Marine Corps Reserve, who run this fabulous program.

NOTE TO MY DENVER BASED READERS: Toys for Tots here in Colorado is short 70,000 toys this year based on the number of requests they've gotten from families that need assistance. Help if you can, Hot Chicks and Smart Men - no kids should be without a gift on Christmas.
