Hi, we're Modern Vintage. We love weddings, we love love & we love to sing while we set up. Our favorite part of the day is watching you, as a new couple, walk back down the aisle after the ceremony. That feeling of elation & pure joy is why we do what we do.

Angel Tree: #giveLOVE this Christmas to a sweet child!

Dec 8

This weekend I dropped off our gifts for a sweet 6-year old angel that we adopted from the Salvation Army’s Angel Tree Program. The program was started in 1979 to give people the opportunity to “adopt” a child from their community whose family is not able to provide Christmas gifts. Upon signing up, you get a card with your chosen child’s name, age, sizes, Christmas wishes and practical needs. I really enjoyed doing this shopping. Christmas was such a magical time for me when I was young. We left out milk and cookies every Christmas eve. I stayed up late, straining my ears to hear if Santa had landed on the roof yet. I crept to the top of the stairs to peek down at the tree and what may lie beneath. On Christmas morning, it was like the living room was transformed into the magical place filled with glittering boxes and bags.

Now that I am a mother, I want this experience for my own daughter. And if I were unable to provide that for her, it would be heartbreaking. I know that my experience is not shared by everyone, however much I wish that it were, but I hope that in a small way, I was able to help another mom or dad or grandparent to share some of that Christmas experience with this angel.  I may not know this child and she will never know my name, but what matters is that when she wakes up on Christmas morning, she will have a few of the items she wanted/needed this Christmas.

The adoption period for this year ended this weekend, but the Salvation Army is still in need of clothes and toys to fill in for those angels who were not adopted this year. They are accepting donations at their warehouse at 2 Dell Parkway Dr. Nashville 37217 until December 13.  How will you #giveLOVE in your community this holiday season? Modern Vintage has a few more things up our sleeves!
