Sometimes Santa Claus needs a little help. You can assist him in bringing Christmas joy to Morrison children.
Choose an anonymous child from among the name tags decorating the Christmas tree in the lobby of Advantage One Credit Union, 204 N. Jackson Street, Morrison, IL.
Purchase a gift or two and wrap. Attach the green tag that identifies which child is the recipient. Return your package(s) to Advantage One Credit Union by Monday, December 14, 2015.
Staff members Michelle Meinsma, Morrison, at left, and Kelly Gockel, Rock Falls, IL, stand before the giving tree on Friday, November 27.
Parents can use this gifting as a real-life, object lesson with their children. Allow your child to select a card from the tree and go shopping with a parent and budget to spend. It will give your child an opportunity to think what others might enjoy, not themselves, and make decisions. That is the essence of giving. Let the giver help with the wrapping and adding ribbon, to complete the gifting process.
