I take on a family of kids each year because I want to make sure they all get an equal amount. These kids do not ask for much. This year a 12 year old boy wanted a pair of work boots, the 6 year old girl wanted a Spice Girl doll and the 9 year old boy wanted a Fisher Price Robin Hood set. I figured the 12 year old will put on the boots and than want to play with his brother's toy. I got the 12 year old a magic kit and the others extra items also. I always include candy canes, books, mittens and hats. One requirement of Project Claus is that the present be wrapped and MUST have ribbon. It is hard to believe that some of these kids have never received a new gift. It is nice to know that there will be 3 very happy kids on Christmas morning. Happy Holidays. Kathie Mirabella
