My daughter L sent us this photo of a snack tray she made. It looks good!
I read this touching article in the newspaper concerning the origins of the Toronto Star newspaper's Santa Claus Fund:
'One day during his youth, Atkinson stood near a frozen lake, watching children skate. A woman approached him and asked why he wasn’t skating as well. The young man explained to her that he didn’t have enough money for skates, which evidently touched the stranger. She bought Atkinson his first-ever pair of skates as a Christmas gift. '
It sounds like it's out of a movie, but it's a true story of a man who grew up in poverty and went on to fight against all kinds of social injustice. So he founded the newspaper's Santa Claus Fund which gives toys to needy children year after year. Needless to say, I made a small donation to the fund myself right after reading this article!
