okay, Christmas is NOT broken! First, you should try teaching them that Christmas is not just about presents, but about love and spending time with your family and giving to those who need. Secondly, since they are children though, I would try to go to you're local church and explain your situation and I'm sure they will help you. I'm not sure what state your in, but I know that in Florida we have all kinds of events where kids are able to get toys from "Santa", and of course for free. I'm sure that we are not the only state to do that. Usually, TV stations are well aware of these events and might be able to tell you when and where they are. Call a radio or TV station and they can help also. Don't loose your Christmas spirit, it would have been much worse if it were your children that would have been taken. I know you are sad that they won't have the giifts they wanted, but it's okay mommy, try to explain what happend as best as you could, and they should be fine. I'm sorry about everything, and I wish you the best of luck and a Merry Christmas!

I couldn't imagine what you are going through. I really don't know much of what to say except that I am so sorry and I wish there was something I could do. You know I hear things like this on the radio a lot where they give the family gift certificates to different places. I know that would eat away at ur pride, but at least you'd be able to give those babies their christmas. You don't want them doubting Santa Clause. If you have to, get someone else to call for you. Or, can you at least buy them one or two things a piece?

I feel your sorrow so what i would do is ask a friend to throw a big party and they give lots of preasats and all have a happy christmas together and don't listen to that cop you have got your case out further and i can't belive someone would rob you! AND AT CHRISTMAS?!?!
As other people suggested go to a T.V station in my opinion i would choose something that many people watch for example Ricki Laki or somthing and people will tribute good luck and god bless you!

I am so sorry to hear about this. There are quite a few different things that you could do...
1. United Way
2. Churches
3. television stations and radio stations
4. Salvation Army
5. some government offices can point you in the right direction
I hope you and your children have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I will pray for you guys!!!

I would call around. I wish you were my neighbor I would give you some of my kids presents. I would just call and see what you can come up with. Ask a family member to borrow money so you can get them something. I would email your local news....you would be surprised on how kind strangers can be. Good luck & God Bless!

I dont have an answer for you but I am truly sorry for all of this. that is so sad!!!! In my town at the local pantries they have toys for tots and drop offs and stuff maybe you could call and talk to them and see if they could help. Never be to proud to ask for help this is America it is ok to do so . Again that is horrible. I am shocked someone could do that.

Contact your local tv news stations with tthe police report information. If they air your story, you'd be suprised how much your community will help out around the holidays
It's really a shame that somebody would do something like that!

Maybe you could contact a few local churches to see if they have anything available, The other thing you might try is contact your local tv station - if they "put the world out on the air" people may contribute to help you out. Good luck to you!

Tell them that the Grinch stole Christmas. Then rush to blockbuster and get the movie, buy some popcorn, and all of you sit in front of the TV and watch it.
Geez, what do you think made the thieves want to steal the gifts? Or are they just the low-lifes who break in and grab anything they can before leaving?

ok, my heart goes out to you, i feel so sorry for you.
try this year telling them your going to have a "proper" christmas, and you are going to learn about the real values of christmas,
which is good food and family fun, on christmas day, have a big meal, and play a few family games togther.
their a bit young to understand about stealing. but i think its the only way to do it without upsetting them, they will be a little disopointed though
