Christmas- Open your heart....

Some great ideas Cazza. When i was living in Sydney and working in bars, i never got to come home for christmas. This was because i would volanteer to work thru the christmas break so that those with kids could enjoy the holidays. What we used to do was we would get everyone who was alone on christmas day, all the over seas travellers, people whos families who lived in other countries and those of us who's families lived too far away to visit, and we would all spend christmas day together.

It wasn't much, but it was nice to be apart of a part of the celebrations. We called it the orphan christmas party.

There are so many people out there that are less fortunate then ourselves and it doesn't take much to help bring some cheer into their lives. Well done Cazza, thanks for doing this advice, it is a gentle reminder that, we can make a difference.

Excellent advice Cazza, I think about others less fortunate all the time at xmas. I also tell my children that there is a child somewhere in this world that does not receive presents from santa at christmas. When they ask me why i tell them that their parents can not afford to help santa pay for some presents. They will sometimes tell me they want to send a gift to a child who has none. It is great to feel the heart wrench when they say htis. I make sure that no matter how much or less they get that they are grateful for what they have.. They willoften tell me that they are happy with what they have as their is families who have nothing. Great to teach our children that the gift of giving keeps going no matter what,who or where we are!!! Thanks for this advice.
