Every year my older kids do Operation Christmas Box through their school. The idea is to fill a box and an organization called Samaritan’s Purse sends them to kids in need around the world. In the past we have let the kids who go to school fill the boxes and turn them in and tried to do other acts of service with the littles for the Christmas season. Since Emma loves littles though we let our own littles fill boxes this year.
