It has to be done in Nov so that it can arrive to the children in December.

That's what I figured. Something in December would need to be local, I guess.

The boxes are not always delivered in December - My friends' trip (think she went to Uraguay) was not til March - it made no difference to those children! The pictures of the distribution were awesome - sad note - not enough gifts for all children in area - slips were handed out for admittance - She said children were on the outside looking in

- Then if there is a miscount, boxes would be opened and divided so each child inside could receive something.

The receiving centers will be open thru Friday, Nov. 20.
