This year son is playing up so I don't know any of the parents..1st year it's happened...figures....
I forgot to mention that my son came up to me last night wanting to sell some of his WII games and I asked why...he said, "so I can buy some Christmas presents"....of course I didnt cry then but I sobbed about it this morning....I did tell him we didn't need presents...that he knew what Christmas was all about..he understands but it makes him happy to see us smile...
Tuesday at the H.S. I work at we are having what we call Christmas in the courtyard...it's for underprivileged kids and my son helped out last year by being an elf....he is going to do it again this year and my D17 is a senior and they are in charge of the whole event....I told him last year that these kids usually never get gifts and the smiles on their faces every year we do this is all they need...we should learn from them...it's about family, not gifts...but I understand a 12 yr olds thinking...and S12 knows we are struggling financially...they all do...it's hard to hide...
I will try to act "as if" today....will be very difficult but I'll just have to hold it in until I'm alone....pray for me...
