GREAT FALLS — When opportunity meets a willing heart, amazing ideas can spread quickly. Lauryn Jackson, a single mother of three from Great Falls, was struck by the realization that many teenagers in her own neighborhood had quietly outgrown Christmas's magic.

"Listening to the teens in my home, Christmas is almost forgotten. The magic has almost been forgotten. They're just little adults and not thought of as kids anymore,” Jackson said.

Shannah, Lauryn's daughter, and her friends frequent the Jackson home, as do many other teenagers. However, at a recent hangout, Lauryn overheard a conversation that halted her. Several teenagers admitted they were not looking forward to the holidays at all.
