A Happy Christmas planned

Christmas present appeal

Cheques and parcels arriving daily for our Christmas present appeal for the refugee youngsters and now all our refugee young men.
We have extended the number of presents needed to 70 and then we leave no one out.
I received this message this morning

"Hi Val, I have a growing mountain of empty shoeboxes and the local shoeshop has promised to give me 200 pairs of brand new ( old stock )  shoes !!!!
Apparently 50/ 50 mens, womens and children"
This lady has also been to her local Lindt factory and came away with lots of chocolates.
On passing this news on to Caroline Mills she thought these may need quality testing!
I am shopping again today for a few more items needed and someone is donating wrapping paper.
We are having a morning packing planned with Caroline, Lindy Gander and myself on Wednesday the 14th.
The presents will be delivered to be opened on Christmas morning....  when Father Christmas has delivered of course.
