My little girl warned to give one of her Xmas gifts to a less fortunate child.
Obviously she was thinking of a toy but I thought food for Xmas day could be good.
Any suggestions of how to do this?
If possible I'd like her to see the results so she can understand the good that can be done.

That's really nice Donny. Your mate is a good man.

your daughter is right, a toy. that will always be remembered.

Certainly not food s not very exciting for a child and would be scoffed by everyone else.
A toy or perhaps a book would be good. Perhaps a board game, as they are not particularly age dependant! The game where you put different coloured discs in, and get it wrong and they fall out. "DownFall" I think.... As for seeing who gets it, I'm not sure how that could be! |

The trouble is Santa Claus has it all wrong. He gives the rich kids lots of presents and the poor kids hardly anything.

I hate threads like this, they are nearly always about the person posting them rather than doing good for anyone. You may know of The Mare & Foal Sanctuary, Capt? I used to do volunteer work in their shop in Bovey Tracey. I don't give up my time at the moment, but still support them financially, do I ever mention it, NO < well I have now, but that was just to make a point

"Crags, you are a thoroughly good egg |

By:
There are a few options and it's not about me it's about educating my daughter so she can see the good people can do.
I work in the retail industry and this time of year the greed and selfishness you see is very off putting. |

I was brought up to believe that good deeds should be done and never mentioned in conversation afterwards.
The worst offenders are the Rotarians. A filthy organisation of hypocritical bull****s. |

Dear Makybe_Diva,How are you? I always read your posts because you are one of my favourite chit Chatters but i must just say something to you,if I may.In a comment on this thread you described the crags as a "thoroughly good egg". When you made that description i like to think that your lovely tongue was placed very firmly in your lovely cheek,but if not then i would just like to say this..I've not been here very long posting on this forum but i've been reading it for a few years and in my own formed opinion the craggy fella is anything but a "good egg"..From eggs like him,I'd never make an omelette...Best Wishes to you Diva.Have a lovely day.

Dun laying I agree but being no expert on the best ways to give I was looking for inspiration.
There are many good people on here and some good suggestions which I'm thankful for. My hope is that my kids will grow up being able to and prepared to help out less fortunate people. Thanks to everyone for the input. |
