WeldfabNeil Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 What are the crews plans for Christmas? My family and I are gonna celebrate Monday. My dad an brother work tommorow. girlfriend works both today an tommorow. My sister an mom along with me are volunteering at a children's group home. The group home throws a Christmas party an I do a lot of the random stuff. Right now I am sitting at a local bakery waiting to pick up some food. To me the best Christmas present to give is helping others. The best to receive is seeing others happy. I know ime not solving every issue out there but I like to think it somewhat helps in a small way. As far as Monday me an family along with a few others will have a big dinner. Then open a few presents from each other. Usually we end up playing a game or watching a movie as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted December 24, 2016 Report Share Posted December 24, 2016 Plans for everyone didn't synch until the weekend after New year's so we'll rent out a small event center and bring edibles and exchange gifts. My other plans for the rest of today and tomorrow are praying I don't have to go fix a furnace or auger a toilet.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never figured I would be involved with helping kids. If I don't have work or a sidejob I am usually volunteering. My sister teaches at a school with a attending group home nearby. That is how she got involved. A few weeks after she did she asked me to assemble a trycicle she brought home. It was donated but there maintence didn't have 5 minutes to assemble it. I figured ahh it's five minutes. Next thing I knew I was taking a few classes an got fingerprinted in order to volunteer. Nowdays putting together an fixing toys is weekly thing. Painting graffiti an re arranging fruniture is also a weekly thing. I must add that it's not just me. There are several volunteers like me all pitching in to help these kids. There's paid employees as well budget only does so much. With out the volunteers alot of activities wouldnt be possible. My biggest Christmas wish would be guaranteeing these kids a safe an successful future. We have had a few of the older kids come back later an basically say thank you without you who knows. It's times like that you know you did good. Sadly we have also read local news with a wanted poster, an there are also worse cases then that. The kid with the lathe is doing good. I will post a update in the lathe help thread sometime tonight. 3 hours ago, Bigmikez said: Awesome of you to do Fletcher!
