Social Assistance is not compassionate when it comes to Christmas. How do I put together Christmas gifts for my 8 yr old? I really need help this year.

We had a year like that...My husband was laid off and we had absolutly NO money for our 3 sons for Christmas. This was the year that we really had to focus on what Christmas was all about. I did go to the dollar stores and buy them little things and people at our church donated some items...which was really nice. But I used the situation as a life lesson for them. We made cookies, etc and put them in little baskets with some pretty ribbon and delivered them to the neighbors. I also read them stories about why we were celebrating Christmas and helped them understand that there was more to Christmas than just receiving. It was only one year and really I feel we all grew spiritually that year. You can make any situation good with children all they really want is your love and guidance...it's all how you act.

There are some charity organizations that collect Christmas presents from people and then hand them out to poor children whose parents can't buy them anything. Try contacting some local charities and check if any of them does this.
Good luck!

How about you make a checkers board and game pieces on your computer and spend time playing it with them? Time spent is double the enjoyment, not the cost of the gift.
Need help just let me know.
