SDers,

We had gotten a lot of deals over the year.
It would be nice to consider giving something back... Be Generous

Thank you

Haha...I might rather just give them a lottery ticket and hope them for the best.

laugh out loud You haven't read Jack's letter. He wants "a 30 feet long grave diger."

Locally it's the same and I refuse to donate gifts for older children. They ask for high end electronics and GC's. There are plenty of ways for kids to make money even if not old enough to work. I have more sympathy for people with young children who struggle to pay for childcare while they work.

Have you met Phillip? If SD were to adopt a letter and contribute, I'm in. You can tell his parents didn't coach him, either.
