i really think this will be a different christmas for the middle class americans who have struggling been this whole period of time. i don't know why but i always think the americans families won't care so much about their kids. probably it was cause of misperception of that americans kids are more independent.
anyway, it is quite sad to hear that parents are worried that they can no longer afford the toys for the kids. some are like even going to the desperate ways such as prostituting to get the money for the toys. perhaps it is a good time to let the kids know what they are going through right now especially this whole economic situation is just gonna be different for a period of time. giving in to them all the time is probably gonna make them a spoilt brat.. i will think people grow faster in dire situation. anw.. i do think spending time as a family will be a good way to get through this special xmas.
i wonder whether this will be happening in singapore. i know it won't happen cos of xmas.. but how about stuff like parents slogging their lives to get to prestigious schools and to ensure that their kids don't get left out among their classmates. sometimes as a kid, we could hardly understand what parents are going through to get us to what we have today.
this article just serves as another reminder for us to get home and hug ur parents and say I LOVE U to them. it is never too late to appreciate what they have been doing for u.
