My head is pounding No but if it makes you feel any better, there was an infant on the red eye flight I took back from Vegas last night, and the little bastard was screaming all the way home. It's now been 35 hours that I have gone without sleep............My head feels like and my stomach feels like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipdaddy Posted December 23 Report Share Posted December 23 about 25 kids showed up so it wasnt that bad....but seriously, you have no idea how lucky we all are that we grew up in a somewhat stable family environment, with money and hot water and nice clothes (for the most part). seeing these kids open presents that cost us $20/each and getting SOOO excited really make me feel good. next year im buying 5. to think that most of these kids are gonna wake up christmas morning with nothing upsets me. i should be happy these kids are happy with their pizza and soda and presents, but they still have to go back home to wherever that is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do an angel program at my job. We dont get to see the kids open the gifts or anything....but when I see them ask for diapers and blankets instead of toys or something, I know the homelife must be tough. This year I bought sooooo much for the family I had to buy for. I just felt so terrible knowing that they didnt even have basic necessities.....I'm thankful every day that I didnt grow up that way. Just goes to show you how blessed we are sometimes and dont even know it until times like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
