Who's not Having Christmas Dinner this year? Financially Strapped.

Share the GOSPEL of Jesus Christ!!!!
Do not loose this opportunity!!!

Pokerface...This is an wonderful thread! I agree with America mom..you have renewed my faith in mankind. I didn't think of giving a way a dinner which is an amazing idea. Also, do you need more funds? If so, please PM me please.

Your timing of this thread is interesting. I too felt like I wanted to do something to spread a little Christmas cheer today.

Since I had no idea what to do, I took my big furry loveable Leonberger dog to town and walked him up and down Main street. I had a bag of treats with me which I handed out to senior citizens and children so that he would do tricks for them.

He posed with many families for Christmas pictures and put lots of smiles on lonely faces. Its heart warming to watch how a big dog and a few treats can spread such joy.

Many Leonbergers in the US are used for therapy work. My boy Micah just turned one year old. In another 8 or 9 months I plan to have him certified to do therapy in hospitals and nursing homes. In the mean time we are going to continue to do a little freelance Christmas therapy, since it was such a big hit today.

Bless you OP for what you are doing!!!

Got laid off in Oct. Haven't been able to find work. A college degree is worthless now a days.

I have used all my savings up and now am struggling just to pay rent this month(Which is still unpaid as of today.

So, as for Christmas dinner? Probably not gonna happen since i am flat broke. I will settle for just eating in doors on the 25th.

I wanted to get too SALT. If you can work with her directly, that would be great. She seems to be having a bit of tight purse right now. She's a forum administrator and I'm sure she can figure out how to contact you. I really don't want my personal information out there. Or if anyone has any idea how we can do this, any suggestions would be great.

Oooops,
I was responding to the little troll, but i see its been erased, thank goodness.

Op, you know there are many here who love you and what you are doing.
Dont be discouraged.
Those people are not worth it.

As for myself, i will pay it forward as soon as i can.

what a kind, kind gesture.
when i posted on this thread, i have to admit sadly that i didn't read past the thread title. i thought this was a place to lament, lol...

i logged off for the afternoon and came back to it and actually read the darn thing.

tis a beautiful thing to want to help.
God rewards the cheerful giver.

and.... i will be sure to take the time to read the OP before posting next time.

thanks to all of those who thought of ol' salt today.
my thoughts and prayers go to all those who are struggling this holiday season. God is watching and will supply needs. OP has chosen to be a vessel for such as these.

damn what a nice thing to do!

thats awesome!

May you get 10,000X back what you gave!

You just made my eyes sweat! Talk to you tomorrow!

Some of you call yourselves Christians and your trying to call me out on my giving. That's to bizarre! I'm not going to let you black hearted people get to me in anyway. It's your choice to be the dark little trolls in life. My life? It's much brighter than yours. Good day.

For all others btw... Please dont think its competition OP cause Im only trying to help those that will still struggle to buy.

I was shocked to walk into Target (which now has groceries) and they had frozen turkey breasts (on the carcass) for avg 7 bucks with a gravy packet ! Its a good deal when you dont want to buy the whole turkey. Im into marketing and I do food reviews, so its a little bit about me you all dont know.

Turkey = 7.00
Gravy = free
Onions french fried =1.99
Cream of Mushroom. 59 cents
Frozen green beans 1.00
Sack of potatoes = 1.99-2.50

Christmas dinner for 13-15 bucks

Hope this helped.. I saw this special at Target.

13-15 bucks to feed a family, Not bad !

What incredible prices you have on food there in the US ! IF you own a home and you don't have to pay rent I think you wouldn't starve even on a janitor's salary...

But I'm sensing you're being a bit condescending there Apollo, it's not the size of the gift it's the thought that counts !

Didn't think I would sign in, but had to reply. Earlier in my thread, I stated that I wanted to give something over the top. Something gourmet.

Your right. I can't argue with common sense. This topic today even took me off guard. The ball got rolling and it took off.

I'm happy to do this and even happier that I have the support from others to do this gesture of good will.

Because it makes me feel good and I know it make others feel the same way.

I've been floored by the responses to this thread. I have truly been humbled. A few tears and a little work, many amazing comments, has given me a different perspective and better gauge of how tough life is right now for folks.

I have no regrets in giving something above and beyond. Next year though, I will follow your advice and put something together that makes more fiscal sense.

Thank you for your input.
