Christmas Bureau is Important
When we went to the Christmas Bureau, one thing that I was most surprised about was the sheer magnitude of the whole operation. I never imagined so many people, toys or things working so smoothly. The organization and work that had to go into it stuck me. Most businesses don't keep inventory as well as the Christmas Bureau. Now you may be thinking, who cares about how well it was organized, what about the people and the generosity? But I think that the organization and care put into this operation was a big deal. It shows those who need the Christmas Bureau that there are people who care enough to want to make it as good as they possibly can. Some might argue that food is more important than providing toys. But I believe that the joy and excitement for life that toys bring is what makes them vital to a childhood. Toys allow children to imagine and dream, and I'm glad I got to witness the stacks of toys that will allow so many children to believe in the Christmas spirit. For once, I'm glad that my expectations underestimated what I saw.
