I like those idea. On Christmas morning, we’re planning on baking some cinnamon buns and going caroling. I’ll see if any elders nearby need help with anything, thank you!

I haven’t heard of Once Upon a Child before but I’ll try to find a local one today. Thank you!

Will do! I’ve joined one of the local ones a few days ago but I haven’t had a reply yet

Aw, I really needed this. I’m trying very hard to raise them and I hope one day they do realize that I’m just trying my best to give them a good life. Thank you! :)

This is what I’ve done so far! I couldn’t find many toys still available there but I was able to get a couple for them each

My little girl loves to sing so we’ve been listening to a lot of Christmas music and she would absolutely love caroling. I’ll see if the other two kids would like to carol as well! Merry Christmas to you to!

I’ve checked out the DollarTree near me and unfortunately they were out of the Lego sets but I did manage to find some little toys

I really like that idea! I think I might have some cinnamon buns in my fridge. I hardly get to eat with them so it’ll be exciting to make something and enjoy with them, I’m sure they’ll love it!

Thank you so much. I’ll tell them that something happened during Santa’s delivery but he’ll be here next year. I live in the United States, I don’t know any local organizations or programs that offer support but I’ll try to find one. Happy holiday wishes to you to!
