Christmas Break-Ins - daredevil1 - 11-18-2008
These made me almost cry last year and pretty much got me listening to the show. I just think their math is funny though.
FB: Holiday Break-ins is something we've been doing...I think we started it at Christmas of 2002...so this would be year 6...right?
HW: Yeah...that's right.

Just to let you know that I have already volunteered a number of you for this. You'll be wearing elf costumes and forced to sing Christmas carols. If you receive a PM that means attendance is mandatory.

when i was 7 my mom made me go to this volunteer toy giveaway our church was doing and they made it a point to all the parents to dress up kids under 13 as elves. i didn't want to go and was fussy the whole time. the one picture my mom got of me is me throwing one of my plastic elf ears at the camera with the meanest looking face a elf has ever had.

If you don't then we'll have to track down mama McHorsecock to get it ourselves.

Yes and it comes with free accommodations. I hope the phrase "it puts the lotion on the skin" doesn't get too redundant.

Are you going to be letting us use your old costume?
Christmas Break-Ins - hotzester - 11-19-2008
When I was a kid, I grew up in a small town, and my parents had asked the principal of our elementary school for the name of a family that could use some help. Then, on Christmas Eve, my father and I snuck over to their house and left a gift on the porch for the child in the family. (I'm intentionally leaving out details, because I still live in roughly the same area and who knows if he/she listens.) It is, to this day, one of my favorite Christmas memories.

That's a great Idea. I may have to start doing that.
Christmas Break-Ins - hotzester - 11-19-2008
I'm curious if schools would give out that information anymore. That had to be 25 years ago - I don't think I was even ten years old yet. I hope so, because it's something that I've wanted to do with my own children when I have them.
It's funny, because I was no different than any other kid. I wanted STUFF for Christmas. But now, after all this time that has passed, I can probably tell you two or three presents that I know I got for Christmas over the years...but that one experience, I can tell you every single detail as though it were yesterday. Every once in a while I'll pass the house and it just puts me right back there. It really was pretty cool.
Christmas Break-Ins - linzi - 11-19-2008
That's really cool you would do that. I can remember my family picking an angel off the Salvation Army Tree and getting that child a Christmas they normally wouldn't get. We'd all chip in and get clothes, shoes and toys. Now I make sure my kids donate toys and give stuff to the Toys For Tots. I want them to learn how to give, not just recieve. We also donate through the school. You could check if they already have a family they are collecting for at your child's school. I don't think they would give out that kind of information.

Hot Zester, Some organizations (like where I work...For the baby Jesus!) don't let you "adopt" a family specifically, but NorthEast Parent and Child Society lets you adopt an entire family or one or two child/young adults. They tell you about the kids/family and you can buy and wrap gifts accordingly. I did it before I started at where I work now, it's a lot of fun. PM me if you are interested in that.
Christmas Break-Ins - hotzester - 11-19-2008
Yeah, I knew about the organizations now. One of the things that made my experience so awesome was that it was something that WE did...just my dad and I. It wasn't through a group. Don't get me wrong - those organizations are AWESOME - but there was just something inspiring about two ordinary guys helping a family personally, know what I mean?

I'm a pussy who cries a little bit too. I'll admit it. But you're totally right on the "Bad Door Santa" song. The first time I heard that I immediately downloaded it for my mp3 player. You can't help but bop around to it.
