    I love the Toys for Tots charity. It's one of my favorites! OK, the Marines in uniform make it all the more Merry to donate ;} J/K... I donate regardless. This truly is a wonderful charity and I hope they get many things for our little one's. After all that is what Christmas is all about. Seeing smiles on those precious faces.
