So, as my life turned, and got a few bucks tucked away... every year I try to find a fire family to help around the Christmas holiday... I was on the hunt, usually I don't anything about the people, I try to give with my right hand with out my left knowning so to speak...the real joy of Christmas for me is to help others I don't know...most the people I know don't need anything... and a lot don't deserve want they got....lol... me included...

so, how can we make these kids have a great Chrismas....
