First Christian Church and Zion United Church of Christ, Falls City, Neb., have discovered a unique way of collecting Christmas gifts for families in need. It’s called the “Jingle Bell Ride.” Decorated horses, riders and carolers go through town to collect gifts from people who called the Jingle Bell Hotline to donate gifts to this ministry. Following the pick-up, volunteers will gather for hot apple cider and cookies and a chat with Santa.
