Santa!!! (See post 41 for donation info)
 

Hey island14 - looks like he is in your "neighborhood" right now :willy:

Google Santa Tracker



Edit: See post 41 for donation info.

He wont be stopping by my place tonight. Last year the cookies sucked.

:dance:

My family and I agreed to celebrate Christmas on the 26th due to inclement weather. I did, however, forget to inform Santa.

:willy:

Snoop's ready.

He really should be smoking a pipe.

Sent this one to my sisters, to show my nieces and nephews: Official NORAD Santa Tracker

Dang he passed us and is in Malaysia now. :toetap:


I really wish he would stop by here..


Most the kids around here never get anything... :(

On the bright side though, I have been giving candy out to all of the Christmas carolers all night here. :thumbs:

Who? Snoop, or Fros-T, the gold chain sportin', hip-hop snow thug.

Sounds like an opportunity to me. I know it is a bit late to try and buy toys for the kids this year (or maybe not?) , but how much money would it take to buy something small for kids in your area? I really dont know what all you have in your vicinity as far as shopping goes but I would be willing to send you some cash if you were willing to use it to buy some toys or candy for the kids in the area.

:yesnod:

:iagree:

Count me in as well. I can't promise a ton of cash but will send what I can.

:iagree:

I'm in on that.

Really cool idea, but even if I had read your post here that night it was already Christmas here and nothing open.


Maybe we can do something for them next year.. :seasix:

Maybe used toys and kids clothes? :island14: or maybe the shipping would be more that things were worth, (not sure)

When I lived in Mandaue City, we lived on a dead end street with only about 40 kids that lived there, so I would buy a little something for the little ones every year along with candy's, and snacks.

The girls would get a baby doll, the boys had choice of a gun or a toy car.

The word quickly got out and each year more and more kids would show up.. :yesnod: :lol:


Where we live now there are over 400 kids! and no way I can tackle that one by myself.


Here are a few pics from Christmas 2007.

The smiles were well worth it.. :yesnod: :seasix:

We would start by having kids line up outside while my wife would hand out presents and candy to them.

I think next year is a great idea. :seasix:

I bet we can raise a few bucks to cover the kids....How much do you think it would take to buy dolls/cars/candy for the 400 kids?

:iagree:

I'm in.

:iagree: Next year sounds great!

Absolutely.:yesnod:

I am really not sure how many kids there are, there may not be that many.

I really don't know, and just grabbed that number off the top of my head. Might only be 300 kids.. :island14:

I will ask around, and will also talk to the Barangay Captain as soon as I see him.

I'm guessing around $2, or maybe up to $3 tops each, and that would leave extra for candy for them also.

I do know of a wholesale place down in Cebu City, and I could travel there next year to make things stretch even farther.



I gave out a lot of candy myself this year, and there was also a German and his wife came here and gave out candy at the plaza (basketball court) this year.

They even brought along a rubber stamp, with ink pad, and stamped each kid as they collected their candy so they couldn't go through the line twice.. :lol:

If we put this together for next year I will get lots of photos for everyone, and maybe even have them make up a sign thanking the Corvette Barn. :seasix:
