[QUOTE="Krs_2007, post: 391728, member: 12948"] My sons baseball team adopted a family, single mom with 5 kids. She sent over her kids Christmas list and we all took a child or the mother and purchased what was on their list. We picked the 2 year old little girl. My wife did most of the shopping because of clothes and such that she wanted. Well it had kind of slipped my mind till last night and she reminded me to go get the bike. I will admit that I got emotional buying her a bike, even put on the Dad hat and added a helmet that wasn't on the list. I want her to be safe. Anyway not singing my praise, but just wanted to say that it is a great feeling. I give to a lot of charities each year, never see the receiver in person so this is a new experience for us and something our kids were a part of. We get to take the gifts to the Mother on Sunday and I am sure I will cry again. I have been very blessed and always a giving person and this is something we talk about and finally acted on it. I will tell you that if you can afford something, then remember those that are not as blessed as us this Holiday season. There are food banks, Salvation Army in the US, adopt a family trees, usually Churches are doing this as well. Find one and I promise it will change you. I only wish I could be there on Christmas morning to take pictures, I couldn't imagine waking up to no gifts on Christmas morning. I know this is not what its about, but for kids Santa Clause not coming is a huge thing. Please remember to be kind, give what you can. Take a look at the person that is next to you at the gas pump, grocery store or whatever, if they look like they are struggling then offer some cash or to even pay for them. There are always places looking for gently used coats, clothes, gloves and such. I try to teach my kids to pay it forward and dont expect anything in return. We have everything we should. Sorry if I took away from your intent. [/QUOTE]
