They will make great stocking stuffers this Christmas. I wonder if that would make a good OCC present also. Hmm... :think:



I think they would be perfect for Operation Christmas Child. I'm sure they'll be easier to find (and cheaper) as the year goes on. :thumbs:

Hopefully our church will have enough stuff gathered to do a summer OCC packing party as well as our kickoff to Christmas one. :treeclap:

I'm so looking forward to finding my first Christmas catalog of the year in my mailbox. :scene:

I'm making a summer 2017 Christmas ornament. I have a large plastic ball ornament and a paint pen. Whenever we go somewhere special we write the places name on the ornament. If we run out of room we'll make more. I think it'll be a neat addition to the Christmas tree. :treegifts:

I do a lot of canning in the summer and always include a few jars of jellies or pickles in Christmas gift baskets. :elfgrin:
