There are a couple of good options I can think of. First there are giving tree programs everywhere where they take the ages and gender of the people in your family adn then make an ornament with that on them and then people take one and buy gifts for that person and drop them back off. All the walmarts in my area are doing it so i would check there first. Second there is a program called freecycle on the internet. Just google for "freecycle (your town and state)" . Then once on the site put up a post that says about what you said here and people will do everything they can to help. I live in columbia mo and know at least four or five families who's christmas have been taken care of by the good people of freecycle. Last to the people leaving rude comments you should be ashamed, not one of you has a clue what christmas is about.

The womans shelter where I work has an adopt a family program for our clients and their children. Also, I worked at a settlement house that had a christmas gift program. I don't know of any places where you can get money, but social service agencies often do have gift programs. Call around and see what you can find.

Go to the churches. They never turn away people. Maybe if you can scrape up a few dollars, go to a Goodwill or some second-hand store and get your kids something there. Sometimes there are great bargains and all you have to do is clean the stuff up and you can make it look new. Good Luck!

What about having a yard sale and selling this you dont use anymore. you can also go to local stores and ask for donations. Maybe sign up for toys-4-tots. There are alot of programs that can help. Head down to your local social services office and they can help. Good Luck!

How about a second job. There are so many seasonal positions open, if you need the money bad enough, you'll find a second job.

Food and loving time w/ your family. Being thankful. Christmas isn't always about the gifts. Or give your talents . What are you good at doing?
GOD BLESS

Try going under craigslist.com to find something that you like. Usually people sell things real cheap. Good Luck
