I spent a fantastic weekend volunteering with Christmas in the City! The organization brings a Christmas wonderland to the Boston Convention Center and provides 4,000 kids and their families with a super special day. On Saturday we prepped the party room and the gifts and on Sunday the children arrived to a winter wonderland spectacular - with a complete carnival, crafts, visiting characters, and their own special gift and backpack to take home.
All in all, it was magical. The children had a day that they'll never forget and I was so grateful to be able to use my time and good fortune to help deliver something so special.
I was reminded of the great Margaret Meade quote, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has"
