Santa isn't the only one that's busy this time of year. Lubbock's Christmas Box Lady is at it once again! Christine Burleson started giving away the boxes about 7 years ago. She collects donations all year long, and puts the money toward goodies like canned goods and household items.

Then she and friends pack up the boxes and give them out to anyone who might need the help during the Christmas season. Christine does it all out of the goodness of her heart, "Would somebody help me if I needed help? I know how much it would mean to me, so I just do what i can to help somebody. Long as I live and am able, I'll be doing this, cause God's been good to me."
