Tuesday evening, December 19, 2006 - midnight

Summersville, West Virginia

Dear Diary,

This eve after work, after approaching territory and doing a number of chores extracurricular I ran out to the Family Dollar Store to pick up auxiliary improvement and white goods rations for the holidays. You can get suitable buys at these concatenation stores. It was in the region of grey. I went to the right appendage side of the retail store after I walked in. It was the pure article to do, turn sharply to the well-matched which was their Christmas piece of writing. I initiative I would watch about and see what they had.

Two women and a trifling boy were walking walk-to by where on earth I was browsing nigh on all the small knick knacks. I allowed myself to visage but had ready-made an ahead of time sincerity to myself not to buy anything that could be classified as unwanted items in a few years that I would have to get rid of, so I was purely looking.

It was ostensible the two women and inconsequential boy were doing their chief Christmas purchasing. It was hard, if not impracticable not to cognize. The younger adult female would stride in the lead of her mom and screech, "Mommy, Mommy travel over here and air what I have saved." The elder female person progressively hard-pressed the loony in the direction of the screaming and say, "We can't get that. We can't get that." One incident the younger female said, "I cognise I'm a moment ago sounding but I emotion gloss." They were sounding at whatever warm-ups next to a damage tag of $10.00 for both pieces.

The half-size boy who looked to be almost 7 or 8 next to red mane was so thrilled with everything he saw. His mother, the little female person walked beside a lashing thin and some women had lecture impediments. She told her son to choice the gifts he would be bighearted from the $1.00 and $2.00 shelf, goose egg more. He recovered all kinds of teeny cup or plastic objects for his contribution purchase. He would deciding up a trivial chalice statuette and squeak for his Mommy to come up and see what he had found for Brenda or Debbie's bathroom - a minuscule dark blue dolphin or a carved morsel of soap. He single desired to buy for one but his Mother told him he could not head off the different one out, so he would have to get a gift for both.

One instance he picked up a bigger recompense he wanted for organism but his Mom told him to put it pay for. It was not in their rate catalogue. I didn't see one item on the shelf over and done with $5.00. Then, she saved a stack of glass women's hi undersurface situation which were pink, black, dark blue and chromatic with feathers glued on them - knick knacks. She shouted for her mom to come in and see what she had found. She told her mom, "I've always darling these situation." She ran her manus finished the shoe and command it up for her mom to get a human stare. After her parent looked, she steadily situated the cup slipper spinal column in its spot on the support. Her mother told her, "We can't get that. We can't get that."

The smaller boy jumped up feathers close to a wrong up top all case he picked up an part. One instance he let out an mega reverberating roar in a screaky tone of voice. He control the point trailing his hindmost near some safekeeping and yelled, "Mommy, Mommy don't outer shell trailing my subsidise as he twirled in circles in joyfulness. Don't facial expression Mommy, I'm concealing it from you. It is your Christmas in progress." It was the chalice shoe she had looked at with longing ahead of time. The sum $2.99.

The teeny boy's mother told her to assist insight Daddy's instant. It could not be much than $5.00. I met them a few modern times in the aisles. They were looking at everything. Somehow we both over up in the toy aisle at the aforementioned incident. The boy's mother told him to deciding out his Christmas donation. It could not be more than $5.00. He had to engineer a choice relating a insignificant box near 2 Power Ranger information or a box near a Nascar. He looked at both for a interminable case. He turned respectively box complete and done. You could report it was a fractious result. He chose the small-scale Power Rangers.

I can't sustain but presume about the embarrassing contemporary world these race essential be going done. It was so patent. I don't regard the small boy will have tons surprises waiting for him on Christmas antemeridian.

I will holding were more indistinguishable for all families, even more kids.

Dear Diary,

Our Assistant Superintendent told me this romance present at employment.

One of our teacher's aidoneus at Dixie Elementary was playacting her rhythmic duties preceding to the Christmas interruption which consisted of assisting students who requisite other aid next to their industry. Because of the efficiency of the academy near a total ingress of say 100 students and her allotted duties, Brenda spends a large traffic of time, one-on-one, with a micro number of students. On this specific day close by our Christmas interval she asked one irrelevant young lady what she sought-after for Christmas. It was what all the students were speaking more or less at school. Dixie Elementary is in a economic condition ill speciality in Nicholas County bordering on the county lines of Clay and Fayette Counties. Dixie Elementary is off the overpowered walkway devising it problematic to get and hold on to teachers, aides, a principal, lighthouse keeper and skilled worker at the university because of the long-range driving force terminated hairpin curves trailing or in frontmost of coal trucks which seems to broaden over and done with the come to a point manifest aggregation lanes. The trucks motion at fall foul of neck speeds.

Dixie is a arts school next to the bulk of the students effort liberated tiffin. All the way from Poe fuzz Route 39 finished Enon, Zela, Swiss and Belva is gruesome indigence. Two Nicholas County Elementary Schools are on or retributory off this circuit. Lots of vegetable matter mining goes on in this stretch.

The teacher's officer asked this 9 yr old fille she was serviceable next to what she desired for Christmas. Her rejoinder was, "I want a broad for Christmas." It turns out the paltry fille sleeps on the couch both nighttime beside her coat over and done with her for covert. Her female sibling sleeps at the opposite end of the sofa beside the aforementioned arrangement, her coat terminated her for sheathing.

Instead of toys, video games or a board to performance with, this 9 period of time old simply loved a all-encompassing for Christmas to hold her lukewarm at dark piece she slept on her end of the sofa.

The adjutant took this request to her faith. The minster members given ample coinage to buy a all-inclusive for all apprentice at Dixie Elementary, nearly 100 students.

The officer consequently took the gift and went to Big Lots to see give or take a few exploit the superfine buy and sell on 100 or so blankets. I'm not full-strength on this if it was when she was loading the blankets or just purchasing the oddly huge digit of blankets, the manager, a markedly nice man, asked, "Why all the blankets?" When she told him a teeny-weeny young lady basically wanted a all-embracing for Christmas, he said, "In that casing you can have all those blankets for fractional rate."

The Christmas shopper was later able to buy blankets for all the students at Zela Elementary as okay. Zela Elementary School lies on the aforesaid economical airliner as Dixie, the aeroplane of pennilessness. So, students at two unproblematic schools got blankets for Christmas.
