You took the words out of my mouth!
My family and I volunteer our time at a homeless shelter in Newark on Christmas morning before we exchange gifts. We bring cookies, food, clothes that we do not need anymore, some small gifts for homeless children, and enjoy a few hours of conversation with some of the residents. It really turns the day into a spiritual experience; and I am not a religious person.
