Christmas Merry Making and the Fox That Created It All
A cuddly blanket, a holiday-scented candle, a great book, and a cup of rich, velvety hot chocolate. This, my friends, is the absolute Christmas dream. Insert the treasure of a kiddo to read to and a new holiday tale to tell, and it gets even better.
When you add a little time to do a bit of giving back… well, the holidays just shine a little brighter. I have a tale to tell about my daughter-in-law, Kimber Fox Morgan, her incredible Christmas spirit, and the small fox that came out of the whole kit and kaboodle!

The Merry Making Movement
At Christmas time, when her children were smaller, Kimber encouraged her friends to gather their families on Christmas Eve to “do good deeds” in their community. From delivering donuts to the local fire department to recycling outgrown toys, the families would work together to make someone else’s Christmas just a little better.
Thus, the Merry Making Movement was born to inspire and teach kids about giving back to the community during the holiday season. This movement is a challenge that empowers families to connect with others and help the community with a couple hours of gracious giving before a small, social celebration.
Kimber hosted this celebration at her own home, where she offered warm treats and libations, the most popular of which was her famous hot chocolate bar. There were holiday games, gifts, crafts, and of course, stories.

The Gift of Chipper
It was exactly from this season of giving and giving back that Chipper the Fox was born. Each children’s book in the series contains a witty tale while offering an uplifting moral.
I fiercely encourage you to share the gift of Chipper with a little one this season. And then, enjoy some merry making by gathering those around you for a bit of community good deed-doing. For a scrumptious reward, enjoy a good old-fashioned cup of hot chocolate with pals. I promise you, it will taste just a little better this year.
Merry EVERYTHING!
