Christmas Time - Time To Help Out!

Alright got more info on the family:

Kids:

Ken 14 Male - Wears a men's small, is into hockey
Kris 12 Male - Also a men's small and into hockey
Angel 10 Female - Wears a 11 or 12 (she's very tall and thin) - Wants to be a vet and loves animals
Jaiden 4 Male - size 4 or 5 loves trucks, trains the Hulk and Spiderman.

Angela, Mom - is a into bubble baths

All the kids would be into walkman's as they all enjoy music.

Please keep in mind if you are buying presents for the children it should be spread out amongst all 4 of them so try and post up or let me know what you are thinking so I can keep track of it all.

Delivery will be on December 17th (Saturday) we will be doing the shopping for the perishables on that morning at Superstore.
I think Best Buy has Sony Discmans for $20 each
Maybe we can get the Mom a spa treatment at Spa Utopia???


And who does not love the HULK????? ;)

Update and a Bump:

Cindy and I purchased some sundry items and a present for the mother over the last couple days. Money wise from contributions we are at ONLY $120 dollars which is really nowhere near where we need to be.

A number of people have pledged help financially and otherwise and I would just like to remind you of that and for anyone else considering helping please let me know asap as this is a very busy time of year and I can't leave this to the last minute to shop for.

Again here are some ways to help:

MONEY! - EVEN A FEW BUCKS MAKES A DIFFERENCE!!!
DRY GOODS
GIFT CERT'S - FROM SUPERSTORE PREFERABLY
PRE-WRAPPED (OR NOT) PRESENTS - PLEASE LABEL
SHOPPING HELP

Thanks everyone for your help!

Just so everyone has the time frame - We will being delivery the christmas cheer on the 17th (next saturday.) Not much time left. I would like to ask that if you are wanting to contribute that you please let us know, or better yet get it to us by wednesday, please. This will give us a chance to even out the gifts and organize food etc.

A great trick is to go through the cupboards and pass on the canned goods that were purchased with good intentions but never eaten. (James this is a reference to your whims on ethnic diversity in our menu, and then never getting around to utilizing the ingredients.) Anything and everything you guys have would be awsome!!!!

All is appreciated!!!

You guys ROCk!!!!

Hey guys,
Is there anyway I could help in getting the goods there? I think it would be kind of cool to have a ACVW helping delivering...

If more power is better. Then too much is just enough.
Why do it once when you can do it thrice?

this was mentioned a little last year and i think the consenses was just having one or two drop the stuff off.it takes alot for people to ask for help and if alot of people showed up i think it would make it an uncoufortable situation.
i'll let James or Cindy pitch in but i remember it being discussed last year

WCB! Damn, what happened?

I think we have everything covered other than doing the big shop;which I am not sure yet when will happen...

I will do a tally of what we have and see if there is anything needed tonight and let everyone know.

Nope not to late - I will be home after 4 today.

Anyone else that still wants to donate can do so until Friday. The plan is to buy non-perishables and presents during the week and buy fresh food on Saturday morning prior to delivery.

Also if anyone wants to help out with the shopping please let me know as it a pretty big job.
