In the book A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens, the main character, Scrooge, learns that the meaning of Christmas is love and giving. He then throws the best Christmas for his employee, Bob Cratchit and his family, including his son, Tiny Tim. Tiny Tim then blesses everyone saying, "God bless us everyone!"I'm not saying those in Crash are like Scrooge by any means. But they all got the opportunity to feel like Scrooge at the end of the book when he learns that Christmas is a time of love and giving. I'm talking about the Operation Christmas Child boxes. On November 17th, the Crash students put together care package presents for children in other countries who aren't going to get any presents. Our Crash students were able to give to others in need and share the love.
Not only were we able to put together 3 boxes (which was my goal), but we ended up sending a total of 6 boxes!! This week I got an email from Operation Christmas Child that confirmed that the care packages went out. Our boxes went to needy children in the Philippines. We were able to share love and give to those in need which is a great feeling. This idea of love and giving is at the center of Christmas. All of you Crash students have helped make Christmas awesome for 6 children- 6 Tiny Tim's. This is fantastic! Good job! You've all made me proud. So, may we never forget to love; may we never forget to give, and may "God bless us everyone!"
