- November 30, 2012, 09:48:08 PMTheir birthdays are today (1st of Dec) and the best I could do was to find stuff I had bought and had in storage.
So for their 11th birthday they are each getting a 60 piece drill bit set and a 14 piece screw driver set. Both are craftman.
When I bought these, many years ago, they were like five dollars a piece.
Also they are getting heavy duty tool bags that are craftsman and I got those at 60% off....less than four dollars.
Their father is big on tool since he is a mechanic. Now the boys have their own tools to help me out since they just live with me mostly.
I have one friend who got them each a big hugs box of baseball cards.... which they love.
Do I feel bad they are not getting any toys??? Somewhat but I did the best I could with what I had.

- November 30, 2012, 07:11:49 AMIm with Lin, im so happy you are gonna get help for Christmas for your children. Its so hard today with everything going up & not having enough money to get what you need or want. Some of us no, as we are on a budget. I hope you & family have a nice Christmas.

- November 29, 2012, 10:34:44 AMTo LuckyCharms...Thank you for posting and letting us know that your children will be getting some gifts for Christmas and food.
And I hope you feel better about everything too. It's hard times and lots of people need a helping hand.
Merry Christmas
Lin
To Gran.....I'm really glad to read how your shopping went. Seems we only hear about the bad stuff and not the good.
The good is out there...just doesn't always make the headlines. Your town and the people sound like good folk.
And I know you to be also. Sounds like you'll be having a great holiday too. Lin

- November 29, 2012, 04:32:33 AMWelll...Daughter and I hit Walmart Thursday night and while it was crazy..we had a blast..The people waiting in our section for the 8 pm sale to start were fun happy and very upbeat.We all chatted and had a good time for the hour we stood waiting.And when we moved to the place to wait for the 10 pm electronics sale we wanted we had the same thing..We held each others spots for potty breaks etc....No ugliness any where that we saw.After walmart we went to a mall in Pensacola and hit Old Navy and it was pretty good too....No mean people just a couple rude ones... But I am in a small country town and maybe that made the difference.It was crowded and loud at times but we had a good time but any time I get to spend with my daughter always is.

- November 23, 2012, 02:21:42 AMI watched this twice to be sure I was seeing what I was seeing. 
So glad I'm home and not out in that stuff.
I saw an awful lot of bullies and just rude and awful people.
Did anyone notice someone come up from behind an elderly lady and taking hold of her from behind and then another man put his hand over her mouth and push her behind him?
What is going on in our world anymore?

- November 21, 2012, 01:33:24 PMReading some of these stories makes me so sad to see how people can be so mean and rude.
That is not what Christmas is about at all.
There are many good ideas of where to go and see what there is out there.
Just had a short ad on the television here that they are giving away food to anyone during certain hours yet today
and all you need to do is show a picture ID. Don't have to qualify as low income or anything like that,
It's just an honor system. If you need the food, it is there.I sure hope you find help just for a little something.
Let us know, ok? I don't know if Red Cross or Toys for Tots was mentioned also.
See what you can do and I hope your spirit with be lifted by the goodness of others with their caring.

- November 20, 2012, 12:05:43 PMYes its like people just don't care anymore!
I know in my area, we have a help center that helps a lot of people with different things, food, clothing, gifts for kids, etc. Also try calling around to different churches cause lot of them will help out, especially when there's kids. And they may be able to also let you know of other help programs at other places. Can't hurt to call & check. Wish you lived close, we don't have a lot but would sure help where we could!!

- November 20, 2012, 11:50:20 AMI think it was the last time I went out on Black Friday.... years ago.... when I was patiently waiting for a parking spot. The person started to back out and, of course, was coming out toward me, making me wait a bit longer among parking spot wolverines. Because of this, someone who had come up from the other direction, sneaked in and took the spot. When I rolled down my window and said, "Excuse me but I've been waiting for that spot.", they responded with, "Tough sh*t. Merry f--kin' Christmas", then laughed and walked away. That person was lucky to have a windshield left on her car. I know it's cynical but the Christmas spirit dies under the stress of what Christmas has evolved into. I want very little to do with the holiday anymore. It's nice to see the family and have a nice meal... maybe try to do something for those less fortunate.... but this frenzy over commercialism and materialism has wrung me out. I haven't been back inside a shopping mall.... for 20 years (?).

Please seek out agencies that will make sure your children have gifts for Christmas. The Salvation Army does a excellent job with their program. Many local churches offer help. I suspect we have something in common. I will not ask for myself but will ask for my children if needed.
contact toys for tots to learn how to sign up for the program. Go to your local salvation army to ask when and how to sign up.
Visit the local Foodstamp/welfare office-they may know of a few groups handing out stuff. Also talk to some food banks in your area-many of them have fast approaching deadlines (at least in my area) for some Christmas food baskets.
BTW-What state do you live in?

No matter what Black Friday is my tradition but....
This year I have no money at all for gifts for my twins who will be 11 on Dec 1st.
My sons made a list up asking for a pack of gum and that is about all I can afford.

- November 20, 2012, 09:17:24 AMIts hard to believe how people can be! 
I tell my friends & family when they ask me what I want for Christmas, that the time & things we do all year long is enough for me & those little things add up & mean a lot, more than store stuff that I don't really need. I'll spend black friday eating leftovers, with my family, & playing on the puter probably! Darn if I'm going out in that mad rush of crazy people!
