Happy Thanksgiving!

November 25, 2010

As the first snowfall of the season was falling here in New Jersey today I couldn't help but think to myself that God was delivering a powerful message by allowing these big fluffy flakes to fall on this very special day of thanks. It hasn't snowed once yet this season, but it did today, on Thanksgiving! What are the odds? As I watched the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade live from New York City I smiled with happiness knowing that Erika and Brian's Make-A-Wish dreams to "attend the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade" were coming true. Six-year-old Erika lives with neuroblastoma (a nerve tissue cancer) and Brian, a 16-year-old, lives with muscular dystrophy. Their wishes lovingly came true today because of donations from those who support the Foundation. Thank you to ALL who graciously and givingly donate to allow these joyous wishes to come true.

It's officially the season of giving now and if you are brave enough to battle the crowds on Black Friday tomorrow, please visit your nearest Disney Store. Up through November 30th, Disney Stores across the country will be selling reusable holiday shopping bags to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. $1 from the sale of each bag will be donated to the Foundation, up to $50,000.  http://www.disneystores.com/

And, don't forget to visit your local Macy's to drop off your letter to Santa. Remember, each letter dropped into Santa's Mailbox is one more dollar ($1.00) that Macy's will donate to the MAWF, up to $1 million dollars in total. Yup, that's One Million Dollars!  http://www.macys.com/

Happy Thanksgiving With Love,
