We have made our boxes!

We used to make  6 or 7 of these, now the older children do ones at school. Jono and Mair were still very keen to do their boxes and loved selecting all the little things to go inside. It is amazing how much you can find around our house that has not been used! the rest we bought from Poundland at a minimal cost to us.

This year all the boxes from Colwyn Bay are going to Belarus.

Incase you have no idea where that is I have included a map! Looks pretty chilly there, so I am glad we included hats, scarves and gloves.
When the boxes are finished they look so appealing it is always hard to prize them off the younger ones!
It is a lovely thing for them to do each year, and as I have previously said, brings home the true meaning of Christmas, 'it's in giving and not recieving'.
