Note to potential Santas
Toys R Us is matching donations to Toys For Tots done at its stores. If anyone was thinking of doing it, it's a way to donate twice as many toys.
My husband (boyfriend at the time) got me started on the annual T4T donation. He was working at Woolworth's, and with the help of a sale and his employee discount, he bought a brand new kid's bike. He goes up to the Marine on duty with this herfty box in his arms and asks "Can you arrange things so that this will fit in the barrel?"
Marine, eyebrow raised: "What is it?"
Husband-to-be: "It's a bike."
That was the only time I've ever seen a Marine cry. It was really something. Give it a try.

My husband IS Santa Claus. He's done the mall job-but what's really uncanny is that kids have called him Santa in the summertime, though he doesn't look like Santa at all.
They know. ;)

I'm in the SCA and I always try to attend the T4T tournament. The Marine guards think we are weird, but cool.

We try to get nice toys, if not necessarily the "hot" ones. We have a "no batteries required" rule, so the parents won't have to spend money to make the toys work. We get things like stuffed animals, board games, blocks, craft supplies...

That'a a wonderful idea!
