So lazy and the older ones spent a couple of hours picking charity gifts by age and feel they have done their bit!! She then proceeds to show a haul of the mighty December 1st gifts and tat that she has overshopped for her brood (overshopped so much that they will be getting burr baskets, christmas Eve boxes, no doubt secret Santa gifts and more than 1 advent calender each) as well as floor to ceiling gifts and tatt on Christmas day itself.
I bet our lazy one perused the shelves thinking Jace would love that - so would milla and what's her face! And will buy them for the 3 youngest and add to the pile of the oldest - she seemed to equate packing presents as like shopping!
It was our gift service at church today we give to the salvation army - they have already been asked to provide over 500 presents for children who would otherwise receive nothing at Christmas (and that's just the under 13's) they have nearly 200 13 - 16 year olds who they hope to give gift cards to, they expect the need to arise in the coming weeks!! As a small congregation (47) there were at least 80 physical presents provided plus over 10 envelopes with money in handed over!
Sarah spent a couple of hours 'volentering' as she has read online and feels it would be good for engagement - she took vlog material - but gave nothing!!
There are kids in my town that would feel blessed just to receive a couple of items saz will give her children on December 1st on christmas day! If Sarah has overbought would it be nice to donate? Sorry she does not share!!
The garage of doom must be stuffed full of toys that have never been used - there must be stuff they could donate!!
She really has no idea of the real world (or how close she is to needing charity gifts in the future).
