Hay Ya'll!
I would fist like to start with telling everyone Merry Christmas! I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
Okay now.. my name is Caroline and I am 12 years old and in the seventh grade. As kids, we all can't wait to wake up on Christmas morning and see what Santa has brought us this year! I mean, I am 12 years old and still get up at the crack of dawn just to see what we got this year! I know as kids, we all just think of Christmas as a holiday where we get presents and all that good stuff but it's really not. Christmas is a time for celebrating Jesus' birthday! As always, people at my church are picked to write in the advent booklet that we get every year at Christmas time. It just so happened that this year would be my special turn! I was very excited!
I was so excited to get home from church that day and start to write. I was very excited until I relized I had no idea what to write about! I sat at my desk and thought.. thought..thought some more until my brain became dead! Later that evening after coming home from youth, I had finally got my idea!
Our church youth group went to a local men's homeless shelter and helped the homeless men by playing games and even feeding them desserts! The night before going, I prayed and asked god to help me with my fears and watch over the youth as we went to the shelter the next morning. I have to admit, fist going into a homeless shelter was pretty scary but after playing games with them, I relized that those men where just like every other person in the world. I felt very realived.
I do believe that if you ask and pray to god, that he WILL answer your prayers! I hope that my passage has helped evryone understand the true meaning of Christmas!

That was very sweet of you. So I say to you, as you grow and your hands become to full to carry your load. I hope that someone is there to help you carry it, no matter what it may be. Merry Christmas

My lady friends and I decided to donate to a charity cause. We had a "garage sale" in December. We ended making over $1200 dollars and gave to Kids Against Hunger. That will feed over 5000 kids. I wish more people would give for charity. May you be blessed and have a kind heart.

My mother and I were gifted with a random act of kindness: Someone we did not know and remained anonymous paid for our meal one evening. I play to return that act as a "pay it forward."

It will feel even better when you are the giver. Happy HOHO to you

I bought presents for someone I do not know, and is poor. Also I saw 3 people that looked sad [ 3 people in 3 different places] so I smiled at them and a few minutes later I looked back at them and they looked as happy as they could be! Also a cashier asked me " Where can I get Orbez?" So I helped her so her daughter will have a present! Then a little baby boy dropped something so I picked it back up! Have a Merry Christmas!

One day my friend and I decided that we wanted to sell something to make some money and give the money to a charity. Now we sell all kinds of things. We make all of the things too. We have made probably about $30.00 or so as of right now.We will be selling them for the rest of our school year and the money will be going to the Riley's Children's Hospital.
