Elfy Elflings,
If you have been reading my blogs a while then you will know that I like to promote helping people and feel very happy when I can help someone in need. I did a post a few weeks ago regarding helping the homeless and those struggling around the festive period. You can read it here.
We all take it for granted really, we go and do a massive shop and add extras to the trolley just because "it's Christmas". But other people don't have that luxury and some can't even manage to give their family a proper meal on Christmas Day, nevermind a big fancy turkey dinner. Now I wish I could hide somewhere out and get all these people together and serve them a full Christmas dinner with pigs in blanket and Christmas pudding and everything. I can't do this. So me and my mum helped by doing a reverse advent calendar, as my mum is a CI in the local air cadet squadron (shoutout to 331) she managed to get some donations from the cadets as well.
My mum dropped all our donations off on Friday, I had to go to university though for a couple of hours so I missed going, which is typical. But they were really grateful and I'm glad we managed to help people less fortunate than ourselves. I aim to help more next year for the food bank and such.
That's our first Reverse Advent done!
Until tomorrow,
