For the past 8 years or so, we have filled 2 boxes - one for a girl Peanut's age, and one for a boy Boo's age. It's a fun thing to do. But it was just a holiday exercise until this past summer while we were in Peru.
One afternoon during our trip, Operation Christmas Child gift boxes were handed out to special needs kids from all over Lima. Seeing them open these boxes made it much more real and personal to me.
If you have a chance to fill a shoe box with gifts for kids, know that they are much appreciated.
