There's more than one Father Christmas

Or in this case "Mother Christmas". A young Toulousaine, Nora Filali, was impressed by the idea of people saving shoe boxes to fill with a few essentials and luxuries and distributing them to the homeless in the streets of her city.
The same idea being undertaken by other local people and groups was reported on Taglines a week or two ago, but Nora managed to persuade others in the area, by means of a Facebook page, to donate over 700 Christmas boxes, all in festive wrapping.
She and her friends toured the streets of la ville rose on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day giving a little bit of cheer to the homeless of the city. An emotional experience for all, she hopes to repeat this act of solidarity again next year
