[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] We're talking about poor kids who rarely get their wants fulfilled, and what makes Christmas special is that it is a time when they actually do get a chance to get something they really want. All the other stuff you talk about is fine, but on Christmas morning, no kid is hoping Santa brought some socks and underwear. Come on. [/quote] There's a lot of middle ground between "socks and underwear" and a fancy game system. C'mon.[/quote] And there's also a lot of middle ground between "getting their wants fulfilled" and "getting [u]all[/u] their wants fulfilled." The person who said Christmas should be able time with family, sharing special meals, etc. else inserted the "all," like these kids were being greedy. If a family has an absent parent and relies on food pantries, all that other "warm" Christmasy stuff is a lot harder to do. Is buying them a nice toy really spoiling them? [/quote]
