[QUOTE="LandSpeeder, post: 455391, member: 1799"] I did the Angel Tree this year, a boy and a girl. I truly enjoy random acts of kindness, and don't need credit, but it being brought up, I wanted re-iterate how awesome this program is, and think more people should participate. Brookwood Mall has one if you're in the bham area, but I believe it's too late now. ======= I ain't got no kids. And was the fifth kid from a dirt-poor single parent who couldn't hold on to a buck, still can't. She taught middle school, got paid once a month on the 1st of the month. Christmas was.... no where close to her pay day. There were Christmas's we literally didn't get ****. I specifically remember one when I was at an age that peer-pressure mattered the only thing I could come back to school and say I "got from santa" was a hand-me-down pair of shoes and a used pocket knife I wrapped for myself, just so i could have something. No one had to convince me there was no santa, In fact can't remember ever believing in him. For all those saying the meaning of Christmas is being ruined.... how? why? Because Christians took a Pagan Holiday and made their own from it? Jesus was a real man, but he was not born on Winter Solstice. And then a department store decided to commercialize the holiday to make money and use a make-believe man that had zero to do with religion? I realize this is not a "religion" thread, but my view on that topic is a weird one, since I believe in God, Jesus, and the holy ghost, the Trinity... but not the way a traditional Christian believes in it. Christmas is a time for giving... but to me, EVERY day is a time for giving. I don't need Santa. I don't mind people enjoying Christmas, and everything that goes along with it. I participate by giving to random causes. It's just never been a holiday for me to receive material goods. [/QUOTE]
