You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch...

It was the day after Thanksgiving that I saw this story on the news.

Bill Fogerty is a man who runs the "United Labor Agency of Orange County", and every Christmas, he collects food and toys to give the less fortunate, so that they can have a nice Holiday.

Well this year, on Thanksgiving day, someone broke into the warehouse where all the food and toys were being stored, and stole it all. $100,000 worth of food, and $25,000 worth of toys. All that was left was a couple canned goods. I couldn't believe that someone could do that. He said he even thought maybe this was the end, and it was just time for him to retire this tradition.

Well, I was watching the news just a couple of minutes ago, and was even more surprised. Ever since the story was on the news, Bill Fogerty has been receiving hundreds of emails from people offering to help build the supply back up. He has since received truckloads and vanloads worth of food, and the Marines even dropped off nearly 2,000 toys!!

This right here is the true meaning of Christmas.
