Christmas Box House Tree

Yesterday, a few of us from work went to 'The Christmas Box House' (CBH) to decorate their tree for December. They have a tree that is up year round and its the first thing that a child see's when they are brought to the CBH. The tree is surrounded by stuffed animals and when a child comes to the CBH, they get to choose an animal to keep. Each month it is decorated by different people and/or organizations with different themes. We had signed up for the 'December' tree a few months ago and I was so excited to do it. Last week Barb, Courtney & I went to Target and bought all the stuff for the tree and then we ordered some things online. I helped Courtney come up with the 'theme' of the tree which was "Santa's Workshop". We got bright colored ornaments of red & green, wooden block toys, a sparkly santa hat for the topper, and filled little bags with small toys for the kids to keep after Christmas. A few of the guys went early to put up the lights and then Barb, Courtney, Christy, Julie, Ryan and his brother-in-law and I decorated the tree. It was a lot of fun and it turned out really cute! We were all so happy to be able to do this for the kids and we hope they like it! Merry Christmas to the kids at The Christmas Box House!
