                          Its getting closer to christmas and all of us pass a bell ringer with that red kettle sometime in are christmas shopping adventures....do u feel obligated to donate?

[dreamyxo]

No I don't feel obligated one bit.

[animikokala]

No, since I don't carry cash anymore.  Can't very well put my card in there.  Besides, there are families I personally know that need help; I help them instead.

I do sometimes but it does get old, economy is bad enough right now, Christmas time is already tight for just my own family let alone giving for others.  But I still do sometimes.

I drop change in when I can, but there are SO MANY out there that I go by everyday that I cannot put something n veryone everyday. This makes me like the bell ringers I do not give to get upset. I guess that is a little silly.

I always give what I can... When I was a kid, I regularly got gifts from the "Angel" or "giving" trees. We bought stuff at salvation army, churches donated to us.... basically, now that I have money as an adult, I will always give. So many people helped make my childhood good, even when times were bad. They didn't even know us. They payed my moms rent, gave us food, helped us out all the time. I just want to make sure that children and family can get some joy for the holidays. I mean, really, what's ten bucks when my husband works in the oilfield.  now i'm getting all teary-eyed thinking about it
