Holiday traditions

This week I thought it would be fun to talk about one of my favorite holiday traditions in the US. Every year, many elementary school classes, businesses, and families sign up to adopt a needy family for Christmas. This tradition is run through local branches of the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army is an organization that helps distribute donated clothing and food to those in need throughout the year by. 

Here is a link to the website for the St. Louis, Missouri branch, which explains a little more about the tradition.
