Gift of Giving

Lately, my sister and I have been going to school to study for our finals. Since our study sessions go into the wee hours of the night, we've made it a habit to drop by our local Starbucks for our much needed drug of choice: caffeine.

During this holiday season, our local Starbucks decided to support The Salvation Army's Angel Tree Christmas Charity. Basically, children, who are in need, get to fill out Christmas wish lists. Then, anyone can "adopt" the children's lists and be a secret Santa.

My sister and I decided to pick up two Christmas wish lists. I got a 12 year old girl named Sequoia who wanted a Hannah Montana doll and a jewelry making kit. My sister got a 1 year old boy named Cody who needed some clothes and shoes.

It felt really good to do a kind act and know that it made a little kid really happy. And our Starbucks gave us free drinks just for "be[ing] an angel." =P

Merry Christmas Sequoia and Cody!
