Epsom’s American Legion Auxiliary To Hold Children’s Christmas Store

 

Do you have children who are 16 years of age and younger? If so, reserve Saturday, December 8th, and take them to the American Legion Post Hall on Short Falls Road in Epsom so they may shop for family and siblings.

 

The Elwood O. Wells, Unit 112, American Legion Auxiliary will be holding a Children’s Christmas Store from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm on Saturday, December 8th. It will be Children Only, geared specifically to their shopping needs. A hospitality room will be set up where adults should wait while children shop. Children will be guided through the “store” by elves who will assist them with ideas of purchases for those on their lists; parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, and their brothers and sisters of all ages. Items will be sold at vary reasonable prices; affordable for children. Once their gifts have been selected, they will then be taken to the cashier, and on to the gift wrapping tables. Adults will wrap and gift tags will be filled out by or for the children so that when they leave the building, they will be completely ready for Christmas.

 

In the Hospitality Room, Dunkin’ Donuts coffee will be provided and pastries will be available for sale, while they last. So that the elves may more easily assist your children, it would be helpful for you to have lists ready for whom shopping will be done.

 

The auxiliary is looking for donations of suitable sale items for young children to teens, and for adults. Collection boxes have been placed in a few locations such as Care Pharmacy, Thompson Century 21 Real Estate, M&M Ford, and The Sterling Cleaver Butcher Shop. Gift wrap, gift bags, ribbon, bows and scotch tape would be appreciated as well.

 

We hope that you will support and participate in what should be a fun time for your children.

Giving Thanks

Submitted By Meggin Dail

 

So much to be thankful for – tongue in cheek, a lot of time I will say to friends; “Just when you think you’re having a bad day, think of someone you know who has it worse than you. If you can’t, go online, look up the news; there’s always something horrible going on. There, now don’t you feel better?” 

 

As I learned in my many years in community theatre: It doesn’t always get better but it can always, always, always be worse… Trust me, I’ve seen it happen. What is there to be thankful for? 

 

I’m thankful I have a job and a warm house to sleep in. I’m thankful to have two gorgeous boys; Carson, 7, who says he wants to live with me forever and sends me little loves notes and Earnhardt, 12, who is just old enough to start defying me yet be a really good sidekick. Thankful for my husband, Joel, who puts up with me even where my parents leave off. Thankful for two brothers who will always see me as their “little sister” therefore, I will always be young in the eyes of two men. Thankful for two parents who can’t stop loving us or each other, no matter the circumstances.  Thankful for in-laws who make my family look less crazy. 

 

Thankful for ice coffee and breakfast sandwiches. Thankful for Book Club and the people it’s brought me closer to. Thankful for hot tea that provides me with calm and antioxidants. Thankful for support of all kinds from friends, family and strangers who seem to be there when I’m raising money, asking for pie donations, need a village to raise my children or having a bad hair day. Thankful for everyone who’s asked if I’ve lost weight, ‘cause I haven’t. Thankful for magazines and cookbooks that I can peruse for hours again and again filling me with ideas and inspiration. 

 

Thankful to be forgiven, understood, admired and loved. Thankful for pumpkins and cousins. Thankful for the pumpkin farmer too. Thankful for the change of seasons, of hearts, of minds. Thankful for diet Pepsi and homemade Butter Rum muffins and customers of coffee shops. Thankful for summertime and lake time and bed time. Thankful for texting and digital cameras and Facebook and face time and stuff in the mail and walks for exercise and leisure. Thankful for afterschool visits with friends and dinner with family and so much more. And while things might not get better and can always be worse; thankful I’ve been taught that life is what you make it, no matter what.
