Go shopping like a big dog. I would also help out those who are less fortunate than most. Kids without homes or clothes or food etc, in the US. I would sponsor a bunch of poor children for Christmas too. Maybe open a scholarship fund for low income individuals with the grades and the drive to match.

Disney? No, just kidding. Check out the link for contact info on some local charities. \n\nYou can also come up with your own way to volunteer... help and elderly neighbor run errands, pick up trash on the side of the street. And, most schools have a Special Olympics that young people can volunteer to help out with. That's one that is on the link. Also check your yellow pages under charities.\n\nIf you'd like more info, do a search for "Kissimmee Local Charities."

several places.  Check with the local Salvation Army as well as Health and Welfare.  Also I know the Catholic Church can help sometimes as well as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.  If you have your own religion also check with your Minister to see if he/she can help you out.

Depending on where you live, you could contact the Salvation Army (no, I'm not trying to push religion on you).  They have outreach programs that assist families.  Also, if you're in an area that has adopted 2-1-1, they can provide guidance on places that provide assistance.\n\nWish you the best of luck.  I know how it is, I'm helping a friend that is going thru a tough time.

Well there is the salvation army.  They give out food hampers and gifts for the kids.  If you find anything else could you let me know.  Much appreciated.....

Contact the Salvation Army and sign your kids up for the Christmas Angel program.\n\nOr not--just tell them that santa was having a tough time this year...sometimes that's better in the long run, doesnt give kids the whole gimme-gimme thing at xmas. \n\n\ngood luck and congrats on going back for your RN!

There are plenty of volunteer organizations that ramp up their efforts around Christmas.  Helping out with one of the soup kitchens in the area, I've heard, is a rewarding experience.\n\nAnd I hope that whoever gave you a thumbs down did so by mistake.  Non-religious people tend to be very charitable.  You're in good company.\n\nGood luck to you.

If you don't have any friends or family nearby then you can go to the local rescue mission, churches, homeless shelter etc. that will be serving Christmas dinner. Volunteer work is a wonderful thing because you are give yourself without expecting anything in return

The most beautiful gift you can give your children is yourself.  I know presents are important to them.  For financial help I would seek a church, the Salvation Army.  I know some stores in my area put up Christmas trees with wishes on them for children.  A customer takes the wish and buys the gift.  Sometimes schools send home lists of needy families.  Check these things out before it's too late.

I don't know where you can get information but I would suggest a Children's charity like Children in Need (I am a sponsor) or Great Ormond Street.

Red Cross. March of Dimes. American Cancer Society. Habitat for Humanity. local food bank. Make a Wish Foundation. Invisible Children. Juvenile Diabetes Foundation. All Childrens Hospital. \n-That should at least get you started.

make simple colorful paper decorations out of paper to decorate your home, make sure you make that an activity. it can be so much fun for the kids.\nhere are some sites:\nhttp://www.allfreecrafts.com/christmas/index.shtml\nhttp://www.childfun.com/modules.phpname=News&file=article&sid=212\nI think that your family is together and safe is the best present you can ever have. try explaining that to your kids. i really think they'd understand. besides, christams isn't about presents, it's about being with the ones you love, celebrating the season. and if you're religious, Christ. my heart goes out to you and your children. I went through domestic violence and i know how painful it can all be. the best of luck to you and your children! also, try making homemade presents for each other. [=\nhope this helps.

Another idea too is to ask them questions to keep them involved. Go around the room and ask each child what they want for christmas. Then ask them how they found out about that toy/product. When they tell you tv, magazine, store display, ect. explain that is part of marketing and what you do.\n\nSounds like that should be fun! Hope you have fun with what you do for work day!  :-)

Pick one. \n\nLook at your local shelters. Battered women's programs. Salvation Army. Check with your Church. Be creative.\n\nI put on Santa costume and deliver presents to children in hospitals on Christmas eve. There are endless ways you can make a contribution at Christmas time.  \n\nMy question is: what about the other 364 days?
