The USPS Santa Letters Gift Exchange, why do people complain when kids ask for expensive items like XBox, iPhones, etc?

Yeah, why give them the opportunity to buy some groceries that their kids might need more than the junk you plan to give them.

This isn’t the grocery assistance program. There are other programs for that.

What are the wrong reasons? Do you think people are buying some spite gift or something? This makes no sense.

No shit? I didn't know that until you just told me.

If a mother needs to return an expensive item in order to buy groceries for the holidays, I certainly wouldn't judge her and would be happy the kids had something to eat. Clearly, you've never been in that situation.

Because we have millions and our own kids don’t have an Xbox. Crazy borderline rude to assume someone else is going to buy something so expensive and frivolous and brain rotting.

If someone can afford basic toys like legos and soccer balls and just “needs” an Xbox they are not poor and shouldn’t be signing up for this program.

There’s a lot of other ways I can redirect my charity dollars than buying overweight American children video game systems. Come on.

If you are going to look at a list some kid wrote and judge them for dreaming of something big, you're doing it wrong. Rich kids wish for those things too. Doesn't mean they get them, not should it mean that the poor kids get them. But they are just kids, and they are making a wish list. That's all.

You sound like a lovely person. Please leave the poor people alone. They don't need your shitty "charity."

Just stop being a scold. You’re rude and judging other people for helping is ridiculous.

If a person doesn’t want to buy the xbox they move on to the next tag. Why is that so hard for you to understand that there isn’t a big process around it?

No, I don't think I will. If I'm holding up a mirror and you see yourself as something you don't like, that's on you. Perhaps you need to reevaluate why you give in the first place if you're going to be so judgy about what the kids wish for.

People like you need to stay far away from charitable programs. Sneering at the donors is the absolute last thing they need. You and your shitty attitude can stay home.

Blow me. I give more in charitable donations than you probably make all year.
