Christmas in a shoe box!!!

Today I spent a few hours helping out with a project called "Christmas in a shoe-box". Every year it gets bigger! More and more people take part! It's just awesome!!!! The first year about 500 boxes were shipped to Ukraine, last year 2500 and now... well, they hadn't finished counting when I left, but around 5000 boxes will be sent this year! Isn't that amazing?

In case you have no clue what I'm talking about I'll tell you a little about the project. People put together Christmas gifts for kids in Ukraine. All the gifts are in shoe boxes - hence the name of the project. What I helped with today was going through the boxes marking them and getting them ready to be shipped. Here are a few pics! It's like being in Santa's workshop!!!

Doesn't it look a little like Santa's work shop?

Mountains of boxes to go through!!!
