Additionally, in November, we pick up two shoeboxes from Samaritan's Purse and the two of us make an afternoon out of shopping for items to put in the shoebox to gift to children around the world who normally would never receive a gift for Christmas.
I can't let that pass without pointing out - maybe you know, but others reading this might not - that Samaritan's Purse (Operation Christmas Child) is not what it may seem, in particular from descriptions like the above. If you don't already know what I'm alluding to, please read
this British Humanist Association page. Thank you.
