A few years ago we decided that in lieu of Christmas presents for the adults in our families we would make a donation in our families names. Research and choosing an organization to donate to has become one of our favorite parts of the holidays. This year we are excited to have found 2 charities that are working in the area where our Mr T was born. Check them out!
