Little kids aren’t the only ones who look forward to getting a few gifts on Christmas Eve. Older children and teenagers enjoy getting presents just as much as the younger children.But donations for two local toy drives are running a little low in gifts for children in that age group.Hall-Dawson CASA is holding a toy drive for the children in its program until Tuesday.Toys and basic items like clothes, toiletries and monetary donations can be made at the CASA office, 603 Washington St., Gainesville. CASA serves children who find themselves in the court system through no fault of their own.
