For family night I read the Story Christmas Trolls by Jan Brett
It talks about these trolls that steal all of Treva's christmas presents and decorations. So she follows them and finds out all they want is to have a Christmas of there own.
She has a prized red horse that is her most favorite toy. She decides to give it to the trolls to show them that Christmas is about giving. In the end she gets a present of her own. Such a great story. LOve all Jan Brett's stories.
So after the story I asked Brody and Bently if they could go through their own toys and find some toys that they could part with to give to children that might not get any presents this year.
Bently's eyes well up with tears and he says to me that he would give one of his stuffed Curious George Monkeys. They are his most favorite toys.
My heart was so touched that my 3 year old had got the concept of the story and was willing to give something worth so much value to him. Not gonna lie I cried too.
We are so fortunate to be able to give gifts to our children but there are some that aren't. Hopefully our plastic Walmart bag full of toys will bring a smile to someone!!
