THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS đ
THE MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS đ
Christmas magic comes but once a year. Have you spotted the jolly, bearded man in red delivering joy to those in need?
The Magic of Christmas is a 100% volunteer, non-denominational charity based in the city of Calgary.
Every Christmas Eve, we load up Calgary Transit buses, magically transformed into âreindeer buses,â with hundreds of gifts and volunteers dressed as Santa and his elves. Then, we do what we do bestâdeliver Christmas spirit into the homes and hearts of those who need it most.
Itâs magic youâll want to be a part of . Want to help? Learn more about us. Not you (peeps).
I so miss the privilege of (driving not allowed) participating and volunteering .
I also miss helping during COVID-19 . We do some hospitals and care homes and private homes . So next Friday I hope to be there . I have done this every year except last year . I have to see doctors on Wednesday for (please)permission to go and volunteer again . If I stay on one bus and just load packages đŚ that will be a honor ! Plus not going into the homes , sad đ˘ , I should be ok . I have recruited 3 elves . In the years before my dad passed , we went to his care home . He was brought out to the bus one time , just him by 2 transit friends who knew him for years . I was not driving that bus . I did late shift till from 6 pm 3 am till Christmas Day . Then made Christmas dinner . He called me and said I am on the bus . I said yes dad , they are taking you for a bit to watch and just smile . He did but kept asking why I wasnât driving that bus . He also called the love of his life a few times .
He totally enjoyed the time . Donna took pics for me !!!!!!! I did sign to go to momâs care home during her 5 years . I cried today when looking at the picâs .
It was a favor by Calgary Transit due to his dedication to Calgary Transit .
I need great memories in my mind and heart this year as I try to get through my losses .
I am already teary 𼲠a few times a day . I canât imagine how I will make it .
No turkey dinner here , just Irish âď¸ meat pie !
It all good đ It will be very quiet . As my kids , go to my daughterâs husbandâs family . My granddaughter and great granddaughter go to her future husbandâs to (Kylerâs) parents this year .
