How Will You Help Your Community This Holiday Season?

This is the season of sharing and giving, and since I have a Christmas tree up throughout the year at my shop, complete with tea cup ornaments,  Lt. Viana of the Waltham Salvation Army, asked if I would place some of the 'Wish Upon A Star' tags on my tree for people to take and hopefully fill the wish of a local child. How could I say no to that?

So, I placed the dozen or so tags on branches of the tree and hope to reach out to residents to come and take a tag or two. To sweeten the deal, I will let everyone know that if they take a tag and come back with the child's gifts, I will give them a voucher for tea and scones. Ok, so maybe the tea and scones isn't a big deal but, filling a wish of a child is.

Do you have ideas or ways to help during the Holiday season?
