Chicktime San Antonio had the privilege of attending the Boysville Children’s Home Annual Christmas Pageant, beautifully presented by the children with the loving support of the staff. The pageant shared the Christmas story in a powerful way—including the testimony of a non-believer who became a believer through the courage of one person willing to tell him about the birth of Jesus. How convicting and inspiring for all of us to be bold in sharing our faith!

Following the pageant, Christmas gift sponsors were invited to visit the cottages they supported. Chicktime San Antonio proudly sponsored the two cottages where the girls who attend our monthly workshops live. We were warmly welcomed into their “home” and enjoyed a Christmas party with the girls and their house parents. The girls graciously hosted us as we shared tamales, chips and queso, cocktail wieners, fruit, a veggie and cheese platter, and cookies for dessert.

We enjoyed meaningful conversation about our favorite Christmas movies, played a name game, prayed together, and intentionally looked each girl in the eyes to tell her how beautiful, worthy, and deeply loved she is.

After refreshments, we gathered in the living room to open Christmas gifts. We began by handing out cards addressed to each girl. When they opened them together, the room filled with excitement and awe as they realized each card contained a crisp $100 bill! Some even asked if it was real—such a priceless moment of joy!

Next, the girls opened their individual pink and black tote bags filled with thoughtful gifts: blankets, crafts, makeup brushes, lip gloss, face masks, LED lights, fuzzy socks, a devotional, bath and body works, a crochet beanie, a book, and a Chicktime luggage tag for their new bags. The room overflowed with love and joy as the girls shared their excitement over each item—and their upcoming shopping sprees, wherever they choose to go!

We ended our time by praying over the house parents, asking God to protect them and give them strength as they carry out their God-given assignment to love these girls and provide a safe place to call home. The house parents were also gifted bath and body products as a small way to honor them and acknowledge the incredibly hard and important work they do.

Thank you once again to everyone who donated toward these gifts, attended or led a workshop in 2025 and faithfully prayed for the Chicktime mission. We truly could not love like this without you.

Thank you Anna, Betty and Diane for coming today and celebrating the Christmas season with the girls and us!
