2020 Christmas Toys for Children

In the Christmas season of 2020, I decided to celebrate in a different, more meaningful way. Rather than focusing solely on the traditional festivities and personal gifts, I decided to turn my attention to those less fortunate - specifically, to children who, for various reasons, might not have been able to fully experience the joy of the season.

I knew that I wanted to contribute, and decided that the most impactful way to do so would be to donate new toys to children in need. The glint of excitement in a child's eye upon receiving a new toy, after all, is a universal joy – one that should not be reserved only for those in fortunate circumstances.

I spent time carefully selecting a variety of toys, thinking about the wide range of children they would be going to. There were board games, dolls, action figures, art sets, and more - each chosen with the intention to bring joy, foster creativity, and perhaps even provide a sense of companionship.

The act of giving was incredibly rewarding. As I wrapped each toy and prepared them for donation, I imagined the delight and surprise that each one would bring. I realized that in giving, I was receiving something valuable too - the profound satisfaction of making a positive difference in a child's life.

That Christmas, I discovered the real magic of the holiday season: it lies not in the gifts we receive, but in the love and generosity we share with others. Donating new toys to children in need was a small act, but I believe it made a significant difference. And it's a tradition I intend to continue, knowing the joy it can bring to both the giver and the receiver.
