It really is the most wonderful time of the year, especially when there are so many opportunities for kiddos to get some FREE toys for Christmas. I will never get tired of talking about or writing about events like this, and I will use my platform to the best of my ability to get the word out.

Hopefully, this time of year helps us all remember not to take things for granted - to remember how blessed we are. I also think it's vitally important that during this time of the year we teach the young ones in our lives the importance of giving to those who may not have as much as we do. Luckily, there are plenty of opportunities to do just that, thanks to events like our recent 911 Gives Hope for the Holidays Toy Drive and the upcoming toy giveaway at the YMCA in Vincennes, IN.

Never Have I Ever (Christmas Carol Edition)

If you've ever played the game NEVER HAVE I EVER with friends, then you know it's a good time! Basically, one person says 'Never Have I Ever' followed by something embarrassing or outrageous or even totally normal and everyone who has done it in the group has to take a drink. This morning, when we were looking at standard Christmas carols, we realized how many Christmasy things we've never done! So the Never Have I Ever Christmas game was born.
