Beautiful!! I have had both worlds at Christmas. What a great gift to help those in need. May God bless you every day of your life.

This brings tears to my eyes Anna. There are so many in need in my community. There are food drive drop offs in almost every store, and the fire and police departments are collecting toys. As you say, "if we can grant just one child's wish, that's a very good start."

This year I'm spending Christmas Eve serving Christmas dinner at our community center hall and during the day that day I'll be there cooking along with other volunteers. Nobody, young or old, will go to bed hungry that night.

Merry Christmas to you and yours my friend,
Marcia

EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!! VERY SAD POEM!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

Annabel,

AMEN! This poem hits the nail on the head. I write alot about the homeless, the children. Its so sad that some children have no Christmas. Thank God for the special people who help these families, these little children. Thank you for this write and for calling attention to their plight.

Blessings,
~Linda

A very good place, indeed.

Anna as a Mall Santa I see and hear so much, from the poorest child who asks for such a simple thing as a board game for Christmas to those who's list adds up to more than my car is worth. I hope that some of these parents would forgo even one of these high priced items and donate the money to a cause so that all children will have just a little happier Christmas this year.

Right to the heart, these words of yours, Anna, right to the heart and so true.
Your friend, Mark

So true, but I wish people could help needy adults as well: plenty of them as well. The disabled. The elderly. The homebound. Our poor/struggling/homeless Veterans, all here in our very own backyard. I know. I am one of them.

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Texas, Karen Lynn. :(

Great write, though ...
