Yeah but if you think about the slaves at christmas it ruins the whole thing.  It would be much harder to appreciate the gifts and toys if you had to think about the children working 14 hour shifts on Christmas making them.

Aw come on now... think of all the children in china
making all the toys for all the good little boys and girls here
 wheres that holiday spirit
think of the children for christ's sakes
 with there busy hands slaving away
 to make all those lead based toys!
and you thought your job sucked?!

i'm not talking about toys. I am talking about basic supplies that these ppl do not have in darfur.

Well so am I,  to many people are to busy buying crap for kids that they really don't need
rather than giving the most precious gift of there time to them
 like reading a book to them at night and encouraging them to read along with the story
   really do you remember what you got for christmas last year
or try this do you remember their time your folks taken you someplace special,....
a walk in a park and the like, three, five, ten years ago? 
 the most valuable give you can give anyone is you time  and to child it is priceless 
insofar as your writings about war  until we learn  that this planet were are on has to be shared with all
  no one is better than another.... we  will always be at war...
 for how smart we claim to be in all reality we are quite stupid  
we should be ashamed of ourselves for not learning  the simple thing back in kindergarten
that is to work and play well  with others  wishing you enough. your pal Mike

it's easy to get bogged down in the reality of the season and feel the joy slip away.  *pets you*

 

try googling george clooney and darfur.  it's his favorite project.

oh yes! georgie poo is excellent.
