[Faith-talk] celebrating

[fswilliams049 at aol.com]

  I use to as a child exchange names and do a grab bag and that is where you 
put all kids of things that people like for instance my mother love to 
collect coupons and my aunt roll pennies, and so on.  This is something that 
the adults did.  We went to each other houses and try the different foods 
that each other cook.  We had lights outside the house and two trees.  We 
went to christmas service when I live with my grandmother.  We also went to 
other children houses and donate toys and other goodies to those that was 
less fortunate than us.  We did so many things as times went on and now my 
daughter is spending our very first Christmas since we gave our lives to 
Christ and we are going to make up new ideas.
God bless,
Felicia
