Note to potential Santas
Nov. 18th, 2006 04:43 pmToys 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.
