This was a great post it really does capture the true meaning of what Christmas is supposed to be about. Too many ppl think it is about giving the most expensive gift they can, and most ppl expect such gifts. If more ppl thought like you it would indeed be a merrier Christmas.

Well I really don't know what to say here so I guess I'll just give the basics of my story. We are a five person family that lost our apt. in Saint Louis so after a month in a hotel we moved to cape girardeau with the promise that there was a three bdrm house available for us to rent. Needless to say the house was not a 3 bdrm and the owner would not allow us to rent it. So we spent 3 weeks in our car until we where introduced to a man that claimed he could help us. So since the end of June of this year we have been in a 1 bdrm apt with bad wiring a dangerous stove that sparks if you push the wrong button, a tiny refrigerator that without a freezer door and the temp is changes so much we wind up with spoiled food on a regular basis while waiting on the completion of a 3 bdrm townhouse in which there has been no work done on it other than the roof. With three kids (1,4,and 6) there just isn't any excuse for the way the owner of the town house has procrastinated in really helping us. In conclusion if there is anyone on this site that can help us with any info that can help improve our current situation it will be greatly appreciated.
