Hello Everyone,

Christmas List For 2024 For Our Friends-

This year, we are again including the 13th Step House in our Christmas giving. So, with them, we will be doing a total of 155 bags. We will need to have all items by December 17th because we will put them together that evening and give them to our friends on December 20th.

This list can be added to if one wants. Our goal is to ensure all bags are identical. If you cannot purchase 155 of one item, just list how many you can do, and someone else can pick up the difference to make that final total. We will keep the list updated here, and you can follow along.
