Christmas Toy Drive Update!

I spoke to the lady in charge of collecting toys for our area this Christmas. She is actually doing the angel trees around the area. It was a pleasure talking with her and a bit sad at the same time. She stated that at this time she has over 375 kids up to the age of 17 in the Lavon/Wylie area who won’t be having a Christmas without everyone’s help! She said that is a record number to have before Thanksgiving.

With that said, our neighborhood really needs to go all out and do as much as possible. It’s not necessary to pick a name off the angel trees, you can just pick up a toy. She said those will help fill in the cracks. However, if you want to take a name from the angel trees you’re more than welcome. I will also collect those the same day.

One additional piece of information. If you still haven’t picked up anything, here are some needed items. She said the older kids normally get left out. They would like such things as hoodies, gloves without fingers, and beanie caps. If you don’t have the time to shop, you can donate money and I’ll buy those items through my embroidery warehouse where I can pick them up for wholesale prices.

Go bug your neighbors and make sure they have picked something up! I am so excited to know that we could be such a huge help. If you’re wanting to help in some way, this lady needs all the help she can get.

Thanksgiving Money Savings Tip

With Thanksgiving only a few days away; did you know you could purchase the same great dinner for a fraction of the cost?
First, don't be afraid to search around town for the best deals, stores are offering discounts on Thanksgiving items this week. Couple that with coupon clipping and you could save a bundle.
Deciding where to spend and splurge could also cut costs, buying a frozen turkey and using canned cranberries usually saves money. And baking that homemade pie from scratch could save a few bucks.

Thanksgiving Health Tip

Don't go to the Thanksgiving dinner hungry: we often eat faster and more when we are hungry - therefore eat a wholesome breakfast and lunch on the day to avoid overeating at dinner time.
