My family and I just moved from Japan.My first experience to live in America.
I would like to write about things that surprised me or things I felt were really different culturally.
I was looking at Craiglist one day and I was surprised that many people post lists of what theyneed want at Xmas time.
Some one posted" I like to help my friend who lost her job and she has children and I would like to give them a real X mas experience."
What is a real Xmas experience ?
Why do not they go to church?
When I was little I received only one present at X mas.
That made me happy .
After we went church on X mas day.
Another person posted
''I have a 8 years old daughter .
I have low income but I would like to give my daughter Xmas presents."
She then posted a lists of many things.
"Thing my daughter likes is: Frozen, Monster High, Lalaloopsy, Princess stuff, Board games, Electronic Games etc..
Thing she need new Winter Coat size 00/00, Winter Boots size 00, Any Pants or Shirts size 00/00, Winter hat/gloves and new TWIN Bed sheet set with comforter etc,,."
I know she does not expect to receive then all.
I am not a Grinch but understand a child world when it comes to wants and needs .
This is America.
Even if you can not afford things you still want things.
