Working at the Christmas Store for Mission Arlington w/ my Mom & Nana. They taught me the "true" meaning for Christmas.

The Secret of Christmas:
It's not the glow you feel when snow appears.
It's not the Christmas card you send each year.
Not thejoyful sound when sleigh bells ring.
Nor the merry song Children sing.
The little gift you send on Christmas day, will not bring back the friend you turned away.
So may I submit the Secret of Christmas is not the things you do at Christmas time, but the Christmas things you do all year through.

10. Favorite Christmas/Holiday memory?
When I was a teenager, I picked an Angel off the tree at the mall. When I went to turn the gift in, the lady at the accepting table was in tears. She was so moved that the last 3 people to donate gifts were teens. Anyway, it was just one of those encounters where you see someone's true heart in her words. I won't ever forget her and the small lesson in surpassing other's expectations with love and giving. To this day, it's my favorite gift to buy
