Giving Back: This past weekend I particpated in my sixth Christmas in the City event, this time as a Shleter Captain. CITC is an organization with one purpose: to host an annual holiday party for children and their families in greater Boston who are homeless, or living in transitional programs. Over 2800 kids and 1200 parents attended this year. Highlights include more chicken nuggets and juice than you have ever seen in one place, Winter Wonderland (complete with pony rides, fire fighters and graham cracker houses), individually selected gifts for every child, HUGE smiles and laughter, and of course, the feeling of utter exhaustion at the end of the day! Several colleagues, my brother, and others joined me in bringing holiday joy to 50 children and their parents. It was a fabulous (and exhausting) day. Although I could never do this every day, it is one of the highlights of my year. To read more about the event, read this or this (scroll down and click on Pictures of Christmas in the City) or
