Christmas time is upon us...A time for giving and sharing of oneself. I recently came across a situation that broke my heart. My mother and I were in a BJ Whole Sale outlet, shopping for nothing in particular....just looking for Christmas ideas. Well, we came across this Christmas tree that had children's wishes on them...children from shelters in the area. My mother and I decided to take two and grant what they wanted for Christmas. I chose a sixteen year old girl who wanted makeup and nail polish, my mother found a 4 year old boy who wanted Fisher Price anything. Simple gifts...others were looking for music devices and gift cards and such....But as we were about to leave, my mother noticed on wish list card from a 13 year old girl....I want a pizza for Christmas it said! A Pizza! Something we all take for granted...I eat the stuff every other night on the go! Here's a girl who has nothing and for Christmas, she wants a pizza...not I tunes...not the latest electronic gadget! It just broke out hearts to read it! We had to do something, but the problem was how...where would we find a place close to her to get pizza? I found the phone number of the organization running the Christmas wish tree....I explained the dilemma...the woman on the phone was very grateful and directed me to a pizza place in the area that they deal with. My mother and I took the card to the pizza place and showed it to them, explaining that we wanted to get the girl small pizzas for at least six months! The pizza place was astonished at the requests and pleased to help...We paid $60 in gift cards, and the pizza place matched us by doing 5 additional free large pizzas for her! This is truely the Spirit of giving! We weren't expecting that! This 13 year old girl is going to have here pizza for Christmas and then some! I think she will be very happy, whoever she is! Just goes to show that the things in life that are soo simple and we take for granted, can bring joy to someone who doesn't have anything! Soo the moral is please look around and help, give, support those who may need a leg up or just something to cheer them up! This is the season for it...and it should continue all year round! By the way...if anyone reading this is from Malden MA or surrounding areas and would like to go to BJ and do something with a wish (there's still plenty I'm afraid)...please do so...I urge it!
