<p>[QUOTE="mrweaseluv, post: 1595419, member: 40340"]Exactly!!! One of my favorite x-mas give away was a "giving tree" one of the 1st years they did this, you got a "star" from the tree with the childs desired present on it. The one we got that year was special. We got a 13 boy who only listed 1 thing on the 3 lines he was given. He wanted only a good pair of hiking boots. We went out and bought the boy a nice pair of herman survivors and made sure he could exchange them if the size he provided proved to be off. Because of the fact that he only asked for boots when all the other stars had nintendo's and other flashy "toys" we felt that he should get a bit more so we included a nice walmart gift card in one of the boots as a surprise. While we never heard from the child (the program prevents such) I like to think we gave the boy a good christmas. That and that alone is the reason I give, not thanks, not attention, not a darn tax rightoff. We do it to make a child happy. There is no greater thing on this earth then a smiling child. Just my opinion, if yours differs... I don't care <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> (gotta be a nice weasel on CT <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
