[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because people think poor kids should be happy with whatever they get. [/quote]

The few families that I know in Rockville who were submitting these requests collected gifts from a number of churches and social services agencies.  Their kids received A LOT more for Christmas than most kids.  In fact, many "poor" parents continue to be poor because they make unwise, frivolous purchases (including for their kids) whenever they get a little money.  This attitude is transmitted to their kids.  Asking for more basics and more simple toys, books and sports equipment would help their kids a lot more than an X box.[/quote]

I’ve never met a kid who could decipher “simple” toys from the more elaborate expensive ones. They are determined to ask for what they want. Kids just don’t understand the value of a dollar and virtually all toys cost way more than they used to. Even a simple toy like a Radio Flyer Wagon is $119 now
