The scams and beggars are out in force this year, wanting others to support them.  They prey on the holidays with sad stories hoping to catch people off guard and in a giving spirit.  If they have a computer and internet access and are savvy enough to join a forurm to beg, chances are they are not in true need.  Wanting gifts for themselves or wanting us to furnish their house is just wrong.  We all work hard and shouldn't be looked at to finance someone else who sits at home in front of of computer begging.
 
There are a lot of solid trustworthy charities out there who give to those truly in need and not the scammers.  Give to the organizations and PLEASE DO NOT FALL VICTIM TO A SCAM. 4951

Its sad folks do this. We r struggling for the first time ever n i would never stoop so low. I know i have taught my girls well bc they told me that all they want is for us to be happy in our new state(we just moved here fyi) n thats all that matters. People scamming for gifts is rediculous n idk how they can live w themselves. Xmas isnt always about the gifts. Im super sad i cant fill the tree w the normal huge amounts of presents this yr but im sooooo happy my girls understand. If ur a gift scammer u have problems. Be happy w what you have people bc most likely u got more than many others! Merry xmas to allEmoticon 4951

Unless you were a trust fund baby, most people have a lean year or two and they make due. That's a time to focus on the true meaning of Christmas, family, getting together and enjoying the season. IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT THE GET. The entire holiday season has become so over commecialzed that people feel entitled to "stuff" regardless, and look to others to finance it....more of that hands out to get something mentality...gimme gimme gimme. Kids are the exception, of course, but I'm talking about adults. 4951
