We have always "adopted" a needy family at Christmas time and also done "Angel Tree" which delivers presents to kids whose parent(s) is/are incarcerated. It really wakes up a teen to see a parent asking for "toilet paper, shampoo, paper towels, toothpaste, really anything you can't get with food stamps" for her personal Christmas present.

funny, the "they're only kids once" reasoning factors fairly heavily in exactly why my kids *don't* have video games,

I guess you didn't understand that I personally didn't need a cell phone. Because 50 people stopped and offered to let me call anyone I wanted to in the whole wide world. Within 1 minute of pulling over I could have used someone else's phone. How bizarre that you do not comprehend that situation.
