All I want for Christmas is my....

I was watching a video from the Shreveport news a few days ago and I heard a story about a family who just adopted 4 year twins; a boy and a girl, however, their house burned down and they lost everything. The entire town has rallied together to raise funds to supply a memorable Christmas for this family and the hearts of many has changed for the better.

Video

In a blog post, write a letter to this family to encourage them during this time of lost. Then, create a Christmas list for the family and go online and shop for the two kids. Estimate the cost of 4 items for the twins and 2 items for the mom and dad. Show the list with the cost in your post and supply a link to the actual cost online for checking.

Enjoy
