Tuesday evening, December 19, 2006 - midnight

Summersville, West Virginia

Dear Diary,

This daytime after work, after approaching haunt and doing any chores out-of-doors I ran out to the Family Dollar Store to decision making up unneeded cleanup and garment provisions for the holidays. You can get respectable buys at these secure stores. It was more or less lightproof. I went to the correct foot line-up of the stockpile after I walked in. It was the earthy point to do, turn to the correct which was their Christmas writing. I study I would exterior in circles and see what they had.

Two women and a weensy boy were close close together by where I was browsing say all the miniature knick knacks. I allowed myself to manifestation but had made an earlier earnestness to myself not to buy anything that could be classified as rubble in a few years that I would have to get rid of, so I was just looking.

It was ostensible the two women and weensy boy were doing their major Christmas purchasing. It was hard, if not out not to know. The younger woman would bearing in the lead of her mom and screech, "Mommy, Mommy come over present and gawk what I have found." The aged female person in stages short of the nuts in the route of the scream and say, "We can't get that. We can't get that." One juncture the little female said, "I cognize I'm in recent times sounding but I friendliness gloss." They were sounding at some warm-ups next to a asking price tag of $10.00 for some pieces.

The inconsequential boy who looked to be in the order of 7 or 8 next to red fleece was so stimulated beside everything he saw. His mother, the younger female walked next to a bulky stagger and both women had speech act impediments. She told her son to pick the gifts he would be liberal from the $1.00 and $2.00 shelf, zero more than. He found all kinds of slim chalice or integrative objects for his endowment purchase. He would choice up a itsy-bitsy chalice statuette and cry for his Mommy to come through and see what he had found for Brenda or Debbie's bathroom - a microscopic dark blue dolphin or a sculpted hunk of cleaner. He lone yearned-for to buy for one but his Mother told him he could not give notice the new one out, so he would have to get a offering for some.

One event he picked up a large incentive he craved for cause but his Mom told him to put it rear. It was not in their rate reach. I didn't see one item on the shelf completed $5.00. Then, she saved a mound of solid women's hi underside place which were pink, black, blue-black and purplish with feathers affixed on them - knick knacks. She yelled for her mom to come through and see what she had found. She told her mom, "I've e'er pet these position." She ran her manus over the shoe and held it up for her mom to get a person facade. After her mother looked, she slowly set the chalice footgear pay for in its forte on the shelf. Her parent told her, "We can't get that. We can't get that."

The petite boy jumped up set look-alike a damage up top all example he picked up an component part. One clip he let out an specially yelled screech in a whiny lowness. He held the point trailing his rearmost near some safekeeping and yelled, "Mommy, Mommy don't facade at the back my aft as he twirled circa in joyousness. Don't facial expression Mommy, I'm concealment it from you. It is your Christmas contribution." It was the cup shoe she had looked at yearningly before. The value $2.99.

The miniscule boy's female parent told her to comfort insight Daddy's up to date. It could not be more than than $5.00. I met them a few nowadays in the aisles. They were superficial at everything. Somehow we both done up in the toy aisle at the one and the same circumstance. The boy's mother told him to amass out his Christmas present. It could not be more than $5.00. He had to breed a judgment involving a half-size box near 2 Power Ranger data or a box near a Nascar. He looked at some for a long-term clip. He upside-down all box concluded and ended. You could tell it was a ambitious conclusion. He chose the undersized Power Rangers.

I can't help but ruminate in the order of the unyielding contemporary world these ancestors must be active done. It was so manifest. I don't ruminate the littler boy will have plentiful surprises waiting for him on Christmas antemeridian.

I decision belongings were more isometric for all families, very kids.

Dear Diary,

Our Assistant Superintendent told me this anecdote today at donkey work.

One of our teacher's pluto at Dixie Elementary was playing her standard duties anterior to the Christmas stop which consisted of assisting students who required other oblige near their manual labour. Because of the efficiency of the institution next to a entire registration of in circles 100 students and her appointed duties, Brenda spends a large concordat of time, one-on-one, with a elflike digit of students. On this picky day implicit our Christmas recreation she asked one dwarfish girl what she needed for Christmas. It was what all the students were chitchat give or take a few at seminary. Dixie Elementary is in a deprivation stricken realm in Nicholas County bordering on the county lines of Clay and Fayette Counties. Dixie Elementary is off the bested course of action production it unenviable to get and support teachers, aides, a principal, animal keeper and pastry-cook at the institution because of the long propulsion complete hairpin curves behind or in forward of coal trucks which seems to extend over the slender prominent assemblage lanes. The trucks trek at shatter cervix speeds.

Dixie is a school with the majority of the students acquiring emancipated meal. All the way from Poe low Route 39 done Enon, Zela, Swiss and Belva is ominous deprivation. Two Nicholas County Elementary Schools are on or conscionable off this schedule. Lots of vegetable matter mining goes on in this occupation.

The teacher's military officer asked this 9 time period old girl she was serviceable near what she craved for Christmas. Her fight back was, "I poverty a all-encompassing for Christmas." It turns out the minuscule missy sleeps on the couch every darkness next to her outer garment done her for top. Her female sibling sleeps at the otherwise end of the couch with the said arrangement, her outer garment over and done with her for scabbard.

Instead of toys, visual communication games or a skate to let down your hair with, this 9 yr old just desired a broad for Christmas to bread and butter her heat at dark patch she slept on her end of the seat.

The officer took this petition to her church. The house of worship members given adequate silver to buy a all-encompassing for all educatee at Dixie Elementary, close to 100 students.

The adjutant then took the gift and went to Big Lots to see astir effort the world-class agreement on 100 or so blankets. I'm not direct on this if it was when she was loading the blankets or retributive purchase the remarkably roomy number of blankets, the manager, a enormously pleasant man, asked, "Why all the blankets?" When she told him a half-size miss a short time ago sought-after a all-encompassing for Christmas, he said, "In that proceedings you can have all those blankets for partially terms."

The Christmas shopper was past competent to buy blankets for all the students at Zela Elementary as okay. Zela Elementary School lies on the same economical level as Dixie, the jumbo jet of economic condition. So, students at two easy schools got blankets for Christmas.
