Abusing the System with Free Christmas Gifts
I know most of you people who have clicked on this article will wonder how it is that you can get these free presents. I am glad you are here with me, so thanks for wanting to know more about this topic. How do you get free Christmas gifts for your children? My niece who abuses the system asked that question to her self recently. Her answer was to make calls to see where she could get these gifts. She qualified for a free basket at the Salvation Army, so she went ahead and filed out the paper work. She was told that she would get a complete Christmas dinner for herself and her daughters, as she had told the folks at the Salvation Army only these three lived in her household. She will also get two brand new gifts for her daughters and up to five used toys. This is seven presents for each daughter but my niece thought to herself this is not enough.
She put on her thinking cap, or perhaps it was someone else who gave her the idea but either way she did it. It floored me when I heard the audacity of her latest ploy to increase her daughters Christmas presents. She called the local Children and youth office and told them she was having trouble buying gifts for her children, as she was out of work and unable to find work. She was told to help the oldest daughter who is five make a list, and my niece was told to make a list for the 10 month old and Children and youth would see what they could do.
As we speak, my niece is creating these lists and they do include all the latest dolls and toys for the five year old and tons of stuff for the baby. I am thinking to myself, as I am sure many of you are, what is this woman thinking, really how many of us call children and youth and ask for help?
Children and youth are not exactly the place many of us would call and ask for help, but apparently, it does work. Therefore, if any of you wish to call them up and ask for presents go right ahead, hey if one person can do it then other people can call right.
The hidden price that she will pay for these free Christmas gifts is to have children and youth watching her every move for the near future. That is sad when a parent is too lazy to make the money for their own Christmas gifts that they would resort to turning them selves into an organization such as children and youth. A visit from Children and youth is not something most people look forward too, but my niece and the others who do that sort of thing just do not seem to care.
So there you have it, another way to get abuse the system and get free Christmas gifts out of it. If you do not mind children and youth knowing that you can not afford your children and want them in your home, go ahead and call them. Who knows perhaps you can get some nice Christmas gifts your self.

Post a CommentWhoever wrote this has got to just be a calice busy body. First of all, if your niece is going out of her way to get presents for her kids, she obviously must need them. Second of all, she must qualify to get the stuff if personel are coming to her house. I'm quite sure she doesn't live in a million dollar home asking for free gifts. And who knows, that could possibly be the case as well. It is very possible for a person to work a job, pay bills and when they get done have nothing left. It's called living check to check. Which obviously you haven't had to do, and if you did, you probably didn't do it with children. So please save the bull. You are dirty and low to create an article to talk about your niece. Not once have you said what you've done for her or her kids. That is what christmas is supposed to be about. My husband and I have been to hell and back, living in shelters, squatting and much more. Over the last 3 years our life has been wonderful. He has a
i am 8 years old my grandma wish i call mom and my grandpa are the ones that takes care of me thy always try to get me every thing i need but i heard this time that santa was not going to come to the house because he the only one working .i know i cant ask for anything because he had heart atc i dont want him to get sick. if only can bring us happyness that would be great
I am sure you are some rich person with a great job and no worries in the world !You are the type of people who need the reality check !!! Ive never been rich but i could always provide for my family ,but when my husband and i were layed off from our jobs weeks apart and were unable to live off the income we had which got us into a debt there was no way to get out of! No family to help either ! After looking for jobs the only thing we came up with were working 2 jobs each and still about to loose our home working to pay someone to watch my kids whom i havent seen in weeks ! My 5 yearold told me i could have her piggy bank so we could have Tv again !!! That broke my heart! So u tell me how it would feel to wake up on christmas morning and have nothing to give your kids !!! When there friend and cousins are getting nintendos and anything else they want ! What do I say to my kids Santa doesnt like u ?? Dont pass judgement onother people till u have walked it there shoes !!! I would do ANY
IT IS AWFUL. MY NEIE MOTHER ACUTALLY NEEDS HELP BECAUSE SHE WAS IN AN ACCIDENT. SHE HAS ALWAYS GIVEN, WHEN SHE WORKED AND NOW THE TALBE ARE TURNED, FOOD IS AVAILABLE, BUT NO TOYS. IT MAKES IT HARD FOR THE PEOPLE WHO REALLY NEED HELP. I WISH IT WAS A WAY FOR THIS TO STOP. I JUST KEEP PRAYING.
I see this happen all the time and not just with gifts at Christmas time, people abuse the food banks and churches that give out food all year long! I'm struggling a lot this year too, but, I will make due with what I have and make what I can here at home. Christmas is about sharing and caring, not materialistic STUFF and certainly a parent can't feel truly "good" about giving out that present to their children knowing in the back of their minds they scammed or cheated for it. Kids are resilient and unassuming for the most part and will respect you much more now and later when they know you did what you could and loved them, rather than took all you could get to temporarily soothe them. It's sad and I wish in these times that people would really think of others who can't even get ONE gift for their child, and not pursue in greediness. Thank you for this article.
That is too bad. It keeps other families who really have nothing from receiving help.Sadly this happens and maybe she'll some day understand.
Whoa. I had know idea this could happen that way.
Wow, very interesting article. I can't believe that there are people out there who will actually lie about this.
