Service Stocking

We wanted to start a tradition to honor Emma every year for Christmas. We decided on a service stocking. We had a stocking for Emma on our wall and wanted it to be just as full as the others on Christmas day. Throughout the month of December we would do random acts of service and then write them on a piece of paper and put it in Emma's stocking. On Christmas Eve we read all of the things we had done in Emma's name.
That night Alex came up with an awesome idea. He said why don't we send the pieces of paper to Emma in a balloon. A few days later we took those pieces of paper and rolled them up into balloons and sent them off to heaven. It really made Christmas have a special spirit. It was great to watch all of our service going up to Emma. I am sure this will be a cherished tradition in our house.
