God gave us his son unto eternal/Not but presents unto massive debt. This stems from Dani Johnson, we have so much already, and so much we can give, like a smile Playing with your kids at the park its endless, and what does it cost giving of yourself Thankyou all

I told them it was the look in her eyes that I didn't want to see, crying as I spoke about this. My oldest girl remembered when they were little we couldn't afford presents, and that's what I had told them. She said it was okay they knew we couldn't afford any and. The next day, and I still didn't know what to do, and my oldest one saidmum just tell her truth, this was the only answer that we emed the right thing to do. So my husband and I told her, I could see the disappointment in her eyes. We told her that we a big party for her birthday and get a savings can and put all mum and dads change in it for her birthday. We spent the with family and she played with all the other kids she had fun

 in response to Grandma04...   I can understand how upset you are, as I just posted to another member, I had to explain to my kids when they were little why they were not getting gifts for Christmas..that is when we changed our way of celebrating and made it less commercial..I had no family to turn to at the time and no one to help us..maybe before Christmas morning came and no gifts under the tree, you should have explained to them that Santa isnt real so they didnt think they are bad..thats terrible they have the weight of thinking they are somehow responsible or were "bad"..a few people here got help but many didnt and its not because people dont want to help..i wish I could have helped everyone but I have helped who I could in addition to some in my own family or circle of friends and my family personally downscaled our christmas celebration in order to give more to others in need..the organizations that help generally take sign ups early starting in Oct or Nov and the churches are helping less because so many of their own members are in need, they should help them first as they serve and are committed members, rather than those that just show up for holiday help...it cant be easy to look at the children and know they missed Christmas but please dont make it worse by letting them think its their fault..i think you should sit them down and let them know its nothing they did and be real with them..it may make them hurt a little less even if they dont have gifts this time

This site is composed of people like yourself.
Most are in need of help.
They are few people that are able to help.
And,those people got overwhelming requests for gifts. Therefore,they could not help everyone.
There are no millionaires waiting to hand money out. Just everyday people. Some people here that are helping have less than you.
Besides, Christmas is not about toys.
Its supposed to be the celebration of Jesus birthday.
So,whats not right is people commercializing His birthday & making it about gifts.
THERE IS NO SANTA CLAUS.
This day is supposed to be about Christ and NOT about us people.
We as a people need to "grow up".
We need to train kids right & stop lying to them.
God gave you & your family the gift of LIFE today. Some people didn't get that.
God gave you & your family a roof over your head today. Many people don't have that.
God gave you & your family the best 'gift' of all. He gave you His son for your salvation.
You have more than alot of people have.
If you want your grandkids to have gifts then you should give them gifts 'yourself'. Its not strangers responsibiltiy to give your grandkids 'luxuries'.
And yes, that is what it is. Anything thats NOT needed to sustain life is a 'luxury'.
That is what is not right.

Merry Christmas
