It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas...

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…

Well, okay, maybe it doesn’t look much like Christmas since the trees are still decidedly green and the thermometer is still pushing 90. And yet, here at EECM we are already gearing up for our annual Christmas Gift Program.

That’s right, it’s time to bring out Santa and the elves again. Last year, our Christmas Gift Program provided gifts to more than 800 individuals in our Hunger, Housing, and Children & Youth programs. You can read about last year’s program here, here, and here.

Now, the purpose of this blog is twofold.

#1 – it serves as an invitation to anyone who would be interested in participating in the Christmas Gift Program this year. We anticipate having even more participants in the program this year so we will need even more generous gift-givers. This is a great project for a congregation or a group of friends, but many individuals also sign up to provide gifts for an individual or family.

#2 – Sheer entertainment. I personally find it vastly amusing that it is August and we are already going full steam ahead into the holiday season. And I wanted to share my mirth with you.

And so let us all join together in a chorus of Jingle Bells…
