Vanity - Santa Is Looking For Volunteers

I just got word from the North Pole that Santa is looking for really, really, kind people this year.

Supply chain issues of all kinds due to red tape and weather may cause shortages and delays of the usual things children ask for at Christmas.

Now, here's the thing. Santa knows that families in North Carolina have lost so much, and even everything. Houses, pets, family members, land, jobs, some whole towns were washed away in the terrible floods of Helene.

Many families and children are sleeping in shelters and tents, they have no clothes of their own, their toys and bikes and food are gone. These families went from a regular, everyday world like we all have to a world where they are cold, hungry, and afraid.

Santa is wondering if some brave and kind boys and girls are willing to give up all or a lot of their usual Christmas gifts this year, so that he and the elves and the reindeer can fly in great amounts of food and clothing and building supplies.

This years' sacrifice by very kind-hearted boys and girls all over our country would mean the world to our fellow Americans who can use every bit of help they can get.

It's not too early for children to learn kindness, and to know that there are people in the world in real trouble. It's not to early to learn that even small sacrifices can make a huge difference in someone else's life.

Think about it, would you?

Hopefully, we'll have our normal CC system up and running again soon. Thank you very much for your loyal support!

If this idea has any merit, can we please start listing known and reliable outfits who are doing real work in North Carolina and the other affected areas?

I know the Cajun Navy regularly posts Amazon Needed Lists for various, distributing churches and other places.

If you think this is any kind of good idea, please think about it. Share what places are working down there.

And talk to the kids about giving up this years so other kids who lost everything can have hope.

Luv to you all -

Lisa
