See where im getting at. If you arent talking about yourself i challenge you to ask these questions to the person or people that "cant afford" to pay for pics with santa. You would be suprise what people say when they are cornered and 100% in the wrong.
1. Were your children denied an opportunity to visit with Santa and sit on his lap, or were they denied a picture with him? In my humble opinion these are two different scenarios. If Santa refused to visit with them, shame on him and anyone associated with that. If they were denied a picture,,, get over it. This service is provided by a business. Are you saying they should give their services away for free?
2. Obviously you have enough money to pay for your internet access, if you are so concerned about your kids, try consolidating some bills (internet is NOT a necessity) and maybe freeing up some cash.
3. Learn to spell !!!
OH, and Google ieSpell it does it for you so you should have no problem with that.
Life is not FREE!!!!!
I thought it was the "Christmas spirit" that was desired.
You liberals make me sick.
Is everyone a complainer these days?
In spite of your difficulties, I hope you find something to be thankful for.
Be sure to take a moment to thank God for the things you do have, rather than complain about the things you don't have.
Happy Thanksgiving.
