A 10-year-old boy’s touching Christmas list is melting hearts all over social media!

Matt Leadbetter of Strawberry Plain, Tennessee told his kids to think hard before making their Christmas list this year. He was shocked when he read what his 10-year-old son, Houston said….

“I want nothing for Christmas. I want every kid to have a present instead of me,”

Wow, how many kids will say that this year? I can answer that, not very many!

Matt Leadbetter said his family worked hard to instill generosity in their kids. After Houston opened Christmas gifts every year, he and his grandmother paid it forward by distributing Christmas baskets. He has also started a drive to collect shoes for the underprivileged in the area near his home in Tennessee.

We need to see more stories like this in the news. We need to teach our kids about the gift of giving and it’s not always about receiving, watching that gift of giving something to someone who otherwise might not get anything would be the greatest gift of all!
