Yet another online Advent Calender

This is href="http://www.tearfund.org/Extra/Be+an+angel/Online+advent+calendar.htm">TearFund's online calendar "Be an angel...". It is full of simple things (and often free) things that you can do to be an angel to someone you love or complete strangers. My favorite one is November 29th: "Church leaders are run off their feet at Christmas, but always seem to manage a cheery festive smile. What can you offer yours to ease the burden at the busiest time in the church calendar?" OK - that selection is a very selfish selection for me. This is my 9th Christmas season at BUMC (wow!) and this week is always the longest - youth group, epic, christmas program practice, christmas program, bins, blah, blah, blah. And I try so hard to be cheerful and nice and not say what is really going on in my head. But it so worth it watching 3-year-olds sing "Away in the Manger" on Sunday and waiting for the surprises that always occur during the program.

Tearfund is a group out of the United Kingdom that is "taking Christian action with the world's poor".
