@Fran- Oh no, did I let that cat out of the bag?? Sorry. ha ha

@Lindsay- Oh, your tooth fairy sounds fun. I may have to have her visit my kids next time. I’m sure they would think it’s fun to have different types of coins. Thanks for the comment.

@Jamie- So glad you commented. Toys for Tots is such a great charity. We’ve supported it for years as well. And, thanks for letting us know about the teens, I wouldn’t have thought of that.

Very well written. Pete and I have donated toys for Toys for Tots now for, well I can’t even remember how long. It must have been at least 8 years because we were not even married at the time. Our family has gotten involved now and I am able to spend more on Toys for Tots than I would have ever imagined. Instead of buying gifts for relatives in far away places we use that money for Toys for Tots. I have bought all of our loot this year and am waiting for some of it to come in the mail. The Rip Sticks came in today. They look like fun! Lets face it, Christmas is for the kids. But don’t forget those Teens. My DH, Pete, told me that the Toys for Tots foundation needs makeup kits and hair products for girls. I had never thought about that before. I also bought some Knex for the boys that like to build things. I may forget the tooth fairy exists (at least until mine start falling out again), but I will never stop believing in Santa and Christmas.

A great big AMEN to you. All so true, all needed to be said.

The Tooth Fairy who visits our house is a bit befuddled…she doesn’t seem to know which country she’s in, so my kids are likely to find some quarters mixed with a coin from Egypt or Peru or a couple from Russia or Japan. They have a great time with a map, looking up where the Tooth Fairy must have been before she visited us!

Heard about the Elf on Shelf on the radio this a.m….sounds awesome…just wish they had a Hanukkah version! LOL!
