Angel Tree Tradition

  Today's good deed/act of kindness is continuing a holiday tradition I started not that long ago.  This morning I stopped at Kroger and picked up a Salvation Army tree Angel. For those of you not familiar with the program, the Salvation Army gives individuals or organizations the chance to help support children and families in need by helping them get meals and gifts for the holiday season. They set up trees in different locations, like Kroger, and you pick a name from the tree and they add it to your bill. Each angel lists a name and what your contribution will be going towards so you know exactly who and what your money is going for. This year I picked a family and am happy to provide them with a holiday meal. Part of our tradition is that we take the angel home and place it on our tree as a reminder of how lucky we are and to be kind to others. If you have the means, I hope you can find it in your heart to do the same!
