Will you tell your children about Santa Claus?

It's play time, but Mommy's tired.

Sometimes my little kid will play by herself most of the day and not even want to play games with me. Most times she waits until nearly six PM before asking me to play a game with her. Maybe she's just bored with all her regular...

Do you give to Charities for the Holidays?

KrauseHome @KrauseHome (36445) • United States 9 Nov 06

Such as Salvation Army? Toys for Tots? etc? I love donating Toys and stuff to these places and helping make a less fortunate kids life more brighter. Some of these would have no Christmas without the help of others.
