The Question:
Although "Welcome Comfort" is a Christmas story, it doesn't matter what holidays you celebrate, or how... The message of the story is still the same! This is a season of love and kindness. This week, I want you to go out of your way to do or say at least one kind thing to someone else... It can be someone you know, like your mother or brother, or someone you don't know at all, such as another boy or girl in your school. Then I want you to come back here and tell me about what you did. What did you say or do for someone? Who was it? How did your act of kindness affect that person?
Here are some answers to the Question of the Week for December 3!

She was very happy, and I picked everyone else that usually doesn't get picked first, and the people who usually get picked first were now picked last!
