That is the true spirit of Christmas, I love hearing stories like that..Mabel said:Goodfellows is one charity I always support. When I was on my own with two small boys and couldn't afford Christmas someone gave them my name and they showed up at my house with the fixings for a complete Christmas dinner and tons of presents for the kids. On of the men asked where my tree was and I told them I didn't have one. A few hours later they were back with a tree, ornaments, and lights. It was a great feeling the following year when they were collecting donations and I was able to give a little something to help another family.
They're saying there will be 130 000 families here in Oz that can't afford Christmas this year, so sad for all the little kiddies..
There are all sorts of charities that help out, the Salvo's (Salvation Army) are so good at any time of the year but especially at Christmas and the Uniting Church does a present drive and people leave pressies under trees in the malls and shopping centres...
I hope too many don't miss out...Christmas was great when you were a kid.
