Loved your story. As much as every child needs or wants a toy for christmas, pillows and cases and nice warm P.J.s are always loved and treasured by kids that are in need and they last longer. I make hats and mittens and send them to a place.Yes give at least one toy by all means but I think TOOO much attention on toys toys toys. I just saw on the news about a lady that collects new pj's every year and distributes them to kids on foster care and they love them..
