And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.
— Dr. Seuss
Christmas does mean so much more than "packages, boxes or bags", but for a child to receive a gift on Christmas morning, to watch the light fill their little faces as they peel back the wrapping - this is the greatest gift of all!
The PVTA is so thankful for all the wonderful gifts that were donated by generous tenants at our toy drive. We have already taken the toys to a drop-off location for Toy Mountain where they will be distributed throughout the city. We had over 65 toys donated and over two dozen tenants came out to support the drive (and also to munch on some delicious home baking and fresh brewed coffee). In addition to the toys, we also raised $25 to be donated to Toy Mountain.
Thanks to Colleen LeBlanc, Maryanna Lewyckyj, and Chelsea Berry for making this event a success.
