Free Ride with the Grinch

"New post 8.30pm, Sun. 22nd. After a gruelling 7+ hrs, im sorry I didn't get to everyone today. Totally inundated, & obviously very difficult to keep track of everyone who wants a ride out. I think i have texted everyone today who i missed, that I will get to them tomorrow (Monday) arvo. Starting from Thorneside area at 130pm and hitting suburbs on the way back to Redland Bay for around 6pm. I do each suburb as much as I can & can only stay in each suburb for a short time. You will have an idea of a time when I'll be around (eg, Thorneside 1.30pm, Capalaba 2pm, Alex 2.30pm & so on) Person must be 8+ and 1.2m, with enclosed footwear plz. If i haven't already messaged you, text me 0404 145 807, but to make it easier for me, please just put what suburb you are in. When I'm getting to the that suburb next I'll send a message to you, & then reply with your pick up point. I then text individually that I'm "on way". Sorry if i don't get to everyone. Thanks to everyone today, & the offer of gifts, but it's truly only me giving, not receiving anything but a smile. Thank you. 😜" - Anonymous

Making Christmas Dreams Come True

"I am in absolute agony but my heart 💜 is full. Every year we as a family and Merry Go Round Toys representatives volunteer our time to ensure many many families are able to enjoy Christmas🎄. This has been a week long mission. There has been hamper packing, personalised shopping 🛍️ and A LOT of wrapping. Most importantly we experienced such gratitude, appreciation and love 🥰 NOW it feels like Christmas 🎄 time and we are so pleased and excited to share Christmas Day with our good friends Bayside Salvos as well this year. If you ever wondered what happens to all those Kmart Australia wishing tree gifts 🎁 this is the answer - I needed to do panoramic shots to show the scale of this fabulous initiative. 💜- Merry Go Round Toys
