Right now I'm working with a group of ladies from our surrounding communities making large Christmas stockings for our troops overseas. Many of the young people that join the service have been in foster care--turned out at 18 with maybe not so many options. The service can be lonely with no family to get packages from. So, am I making ornaments? Not exactly but rather decorations from and for the heart for Christmas. We just make them then take them to another group to be stuffed with candy, soup, gum, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc., and shipped. We aren't the only ones, this is being done in several places.
