Mom blogger's hilarious holiday mishap cracks up millionsSTOCK PHOTO/Getty Imagestime, Megan Dunn has people from all over the world reaching out to her about her message.
A social worker in Owensboro, Kentucky, Dunn told"Good Morning America" she was inspired to write the post when a child said to her,"I hope I’m good enough this year to get a Buzz [Toy Story] action figure. I don’t remember what I did wrong last year, but I only got socks and some candy.” "Poverty has become a child welfare issue in my area, due to people’s electricity being cut off, or water turned off, children are often removed despite no abuse, due to inability to meet the child’s needs," she said.In the two years since her post, many people have been inspired to do good for others. A man saved a family in Dunn's hometown from having their home foreclosed on, she told"GMA." Many people were inspired to adopt other families for Christmas.
Agreed
Good advice.
How about Santa just not bring the biggest most expensive gift. Teach kids Santa brings simple and something you really want. . Let dreams live on as long as possible and let kids be kids.
How about fuck right off, and let people do Christmas how they want to?
We would have a stocking and THAT was from Santa will small things like candy and small toys and socks. Anything else was from family or friends.
Just don’t be poor
I agree with the precepts of this argument but I would suggest taking the opportunity to remind kids there is always someone else struggling through holidays with loss of family, home, illness ECT. The holidays is more of a time to count blessings rather then woes
I always felt like shit cos my family does not celebrate Xmas and my classmates parents went above & beyond during holidays even if they couldn't afford it, but my mom is the cheapest person I know - you do the Math
So now the question is 'mom and dad wasn't I good enough to get a ln ipad'.....or other parents love their kids more they got the expensive gift
I don't know why we still let the kids believe in Santa Clause. Its such a bizarre concept that is not helping anything. Kids in other countries don't believe this and they turned out smarter. Go figure. You are teaching them to have a safe space. Crazy.
