You may have already seen the big cardboard boxes out in stores and that means it’s Toys for Tots time. If you’re like me and love looking at and/or buying toys then you can very easily pick up an extra action figure, some Play Doh or a yo-yo and drop it in one of the Toys for Tots boxes. Or if your area is like my area there are plenty of Indiana Jones action figures warming the pegs at Target, Wal-Mart and Meijer just waiting for a child to open and have adventures. You can go to the Toys For Tots Web site to find a dropoff location or learn more about this United States Marine Corps organization that has helped children have a merrier Christmas and happy holiday season.
