Giving in the spirit of the season

Those who celebrate Christmas are all abustle this week, wrapping gifts, delivering homebaked treats, meeting, greeting, gathering. We've been following the same pattern here at PCC HQ, with potlucks, snacks and fun. And today, our amazing colleague Dana finished rounding up dozens of gifts from our staff to deliver to Peace for the Streets by Kids From the Streets (www.psks.org), an important local organization that helps Seattle-area homeless youth and young adults.

While some wishes were pure fun (including musical instruments and games), others were so practical (socks, jeans, long underwear) they made me really take stock and appreciate all that I have in my life.

What could you do to help a community organization this holiday , or even someone special in your life?
