We began a new tradition at APL last year.

Instead of assigning Secret Santas amongst staff, we decided not to buy gifts for each other, but instead to adopt a family in need in Posey County.

I am always in awe as the presents come rolling in from the staff - this year, we bought for a mother, father, and their three children. Pajamas, games, slippers and books...we had a big pile of presents that we dropped off at the Trustees Office late last week.

Though it was bitingly cold outside, I still felt all warm and fuzzy inside.

I hope we made someone's Christmas a little brighter!
