What a beautiful way to take back those holidays and make them into loving, caring and sharing holidays. You broke that cycle for yourself and give a child a chance o experience the good people in the world and change their life forever with that small gift!

I truly understand where you are coming from, I wish it were January 2018. The worst time of the year for me...I wish I could hibernate until it were over.

What do you think was triggering your father at this time of year?

That’s a beautiful thing you do. You flip that nasty man the bird every Christmas by making children smile. You have my sincere admiration and respect! 🤗❤️❤️❤️

Me too. Im so sorry.

I'm so sorry. :( I really hate the strain this time of year puts on families, although, obviously his behaviour cannot be excused by the season. It's never okay to treat a child or another human in that way in any situation.

But the fact you've taken something traumatic for you and are at least trying to contribute some happiness toward it is huge. It says a lot about your strength and personality despite what you've been through. :)
