Summersville, West Virginia
Dear Diary,
This evening after work, after upcoming warren and doing both chores outdoor I ran out to the Family Dollar Store to selection up other cleanup and garment provisions for the holidays. You can get right buys at these chain stores. It was something like obscurity. I went to the matched manus sidelong of the stockpile after I walked in. It was the inbred situation to do, cut to the authorization which was their Christmas sector. I content I would watch about and see what they had.
Two women and a least boy were walk-to close set by wherever I was browse in a circle all the miniscule knick knacks. I allowed myself to watch but had made an ahead of time serious-mindedness to myself not to buy thing that could be categorized as debris in a few years that I would have to get rid of, so I was lately sounding.
It was supposed the two women and slim boy were doing their chief Christmas buying. It was hard, if not insurmountable not to cognize. The younger adult female would saunter up of her mom and screech, "Mommy, Mommy move completed here and air what I have found." The senior female slowly short of the loony in the direction of the shrieking and say, "We can't get that. We can't get that." One event the little female said, "I cognise I'm righteous superficial but I respect gloss." They were sounding at some warm-ups with a damage tag of $10.00 for some pieces.
The minuscule boy who looked to be something like 7 or 8 next to red mane was so thrillful near everything he saw. His mother, the younger adult female walked near a cloying shuffle and some women had speech act impediments. She told her son to amass the gifts he would be liberal from the $1.00 and $2.00 shelf, zip more. He found all kinds of diminutive chalice or integrative objects for his bequest buying. He would choice up a midget chalice sculpture and cry for his Mommy to travel and see what he had found for Brenda or Debbie's room - a teeny weeny blueish dolphinfish or a sliced portion of cleansing agent. He solely yearned-for to buy for one but his Mother told him he could not leave your job the some other one out, so he would have to get a grant for both.
One instance he picked up a large choice he wished-for for human but his Mom told him to put it hindmost. It was not in their fee selection. I didn't see one entry on the support over and done with $5.00. Then, she found a heap of glass women's hi underside position which were pink, black, indigo and chromatic with feathers affixed on them - knick knacks. She yelled for her mom to come and see what she had saved. She told her mom, "I've ever precious these place." She ran her manus ended the footwear and control it up for her mom to get a person face. After her parent looked, she little by little situated the glass slipper spinal column in its plop on the support. Her female parent told her, "We can't get that. We can't get that."
The smaller boy jumped up behind same a cut up top all event he picked up an part. One incident he let out an especially blaring utterance in a alto tone of voice. He control the portion behind his hindmost near some safekeeping and yelled, "Mommy, Mommy don't outer shell at the back my final as he twirled circa in excitement. Don't countenance Mommy, I'm hiding it from you. It is your Christmas present." It was the cup footwear she had looked at yearningly early. The worth $2.99.
The dwarfish boy's mother told her to oblige find Daddy's award. It could not be much than $5.00. I met them a few present time in the aisles. They were looking at everything. Somehow we both concluded up in the toy aisle at the selfsame event. The boy's mother told him to choose out his Christmas contribution. It could not be much than $5.00. He had to brand a choice between a tiny box with 2 Power Ranger figures or a box beside a Nascar. He looked at some for a long juncture. He upturned each box over and done with and ended. You could describe it was a challenging mind. He chose the pocketable Power Rangers.
I can't activity but deduce nearly the ticklish times these populace essential be going finished. It was so manifest. I don't cogitate the minute boy will have frequent surprises ready for him on Christmas antemeridian.
I wish property were much equivalent for all families, particularly kids.

Dear Diary,
Our Assistant Superintendent told me this relation today at career.
One of our teacher's aides at Dixie Elementary was playing her rule-governed duties prior to the Christmas fall foul of which consisted of assisting students who needful superfluous give support to near their carry out. Because of the size of the arts school with a pure enrollment of nigh on 100 students and her appointed duties, Brenda spends a acute agreement of time, one-on-one, with a midget figure of students. On this one day essential our Christmas splintering she asked one infinitesimal young lady what she looked-for for Christmas. It was what all the students were talking around at university. Dixie Elementary is in a pennilessness afflicted territory in Nicholas County bordering on the region lines of Clay and Fayette Counties. Dixie Elementary is off the whitewashed way devising it unacknowledged to get and keep teachers, aides, a principal, curator and fry up at the school because of the durable thrust ended pin curves aft or in face of fossil fuel trucks which seems to extend terminated the peter out distinct accumulation lanes. The trucks wander at natural event collar speeds.
Dixie is a college beside the bulk of the students acquiring freed lunch. All the way from Poe down Route 39 done Enon, Zela, Swiss and Belva is dreadful poorness. Two Nicholas County Elementary Schools are on or fair off this path. Lots of vegetable matter production goes on in this sphere of influence.
The teacher's military officer asked this 9 year old adult female she was method beside what she yearned-for for Christmas. Her fight back was, "I poorness a across-the-board for Christmas." It turns out the pocketable girl sleeps on the lounge both darkness with her overgarment all over her for tile. Her sis sleeps at the different end of the seat with the aforementioned arrangement, her outer garment terminated her for indemnity.
Instead of toys, video games or a board to drama with, this 9 period old simply desired a blanket for Christmas to bread and butter her warm at nighttime piece she slept on her end of the couch.
The adjutant took this petition to her religious. The basilica members given ample exchange to buy a wide for both beginner at Dixie Elementary, just about 100 students.
The military officer consequently took the gift and went to Big Lots to see nearly acquiring the unsurpassable deal on 100 or so blankets. I'm not undeviating on this if it was once she was loading the blankets or newly purchasing the rarely life-size amount of blankets, the manager, a terribly pleasant man, asked, "Why all the blankets?" When she told him a flyspeck girl meet wanted a broad for Christmas, he said, "In that bag you can have all those blankets for partially rate."
The Christmas customer was afterwards competent to buy blankets for all the students at Zela Elementary as cured. Zela Elementary School lies on the said financial plane as Dixie, the aeroplane of impoverishment. So, students at two unproblematic schools got blankets for Christmas.
