    I talk about the local kids, I don't care if they are Christian, Muslims or whatever. Maybe wrong of me call people Cheap Charlie if they don't give, we have all the right to do what we feel are right. I'm sure the kids don't think about religion when they caroling, they think Candy yeah!

    I agree with those who want to give, even if to make just a small difference but also I agree with those who do not want constant pestering at home. The best solution may be to give to people you meet away from the home - I remember as a child carolling and as soon as one group told us how generous a person was, we would all go there! I also had experience here of giving to carollers - it was a large sports group raising money for equipment and they later returned asking me to sponsor their team clothes. I am buying soft toys, candies, biscuits, rice and fish to give away this Christmas to those who have much less then I do and I do not care less what is their religion, beliefs or attitudes. I just hope one or two feel happier.

    It is correct that you have your own view on this and state it ... but please, if you are going to be here at Christmas, will you tell us all your address. I am sure we could form a group of carollers and sing you some fine tunes. Even a few hundred pesos will do. :sneaky:

    Not sure why, but it does happen frequently on here. I'm talking about people asking about parting with their currency and how much we think is appropriate.

    I say what we think doesn't matter. Consider your own finances, your heart and your family if you have one. Then give what you feel best about or don't give at all.

    It should be a private matter, giving that is.

    LOL, this thread was meant as a "tongue in cheek" post about Christmas... but proved to be an entertaining debate on charity. Merry Christmas to all
