i have similar rule when it comes to giving to the less fortunates. i rarely give anything to "beggars". but that old lady is definitely homeless and probably have been there for a long long time already. it would be nice for her to have some warm meals during the holiday season.

Hey Leo! So, this happened in Hong Kong? If Hong Kong, my guess (based on my experience there) would be that this woman did not "beg". She was just homeless.  So, Leo, if I'm getting this right, you're my man of this holiday season.

Patchwork Coach bag
2 Coach keychains
Delman ballerina shoes from Neiman Marcus
lots of makeup and hair products
several coffee gift cards (about $200 in Starbucks and Coffee Bean, I am a teacher and this is a common student gift)
gift cards tyo Lane Bryant and Avenue (yep, I am plus size)
2 pairs of skinny jeans (yep they make them in size 14)
boots
money
jewelry
candy
bath and body products
perfume
a leather sofa
sheets

and all in all my day really sucked. I made 3 separate trips in 24 hours in L.A. traffic to the airport trying to get my sister to Milwaukee. (They would not let her dog on the plane because the projected temps were too low.) Finally at 4 am she got to Chicago and drove the rest of the way. I slept all day today and ate a taco salad from Green Buritto, lol!

"Santa" brought to me my little man, who is peacefully sleeping in the next room. Whether he is snoring or crying because his nuk has fallen out of his mouth and he can't find it in his sleepy state, he brings me more joy than I have ever known in my adult life. I didn't do this when I was younger and I am just in awe of how powerful fatherhood can be.

What did Santa ( or your God ) bring you?

ps.  He brought Kat a Sugar Glider - which is taking it's time getting here.

Ahhh I get the connection. You're going to saddle up the Sugar Glider to the RC Airplane so he can take photos with the spy camera. Look out ladies!

*Franklin Covey planner so I can document all the no-shows.
*Starbucks Gift Cards so I can enjoy a drink while I'm waiting for the no-shows.
*Ray-Bans so I can watch for the no-shows without looking too shifty.
*Ben Sherman clothes and shoes so...yeah, you guessed it. So I can look good waiting for the no-shows.

Oh, and a hack code for CS3 lol.

I have a very cheap family.

And I thought the part-time Santa gig was going to be a waste of time. Yes, that was only a candy cane in my pocket. I promise lol.

I got a misfire on cylinder 3.

My favorite was jamming with my nephew that I haven't seen in a couple years (man he's gotten good) and the Stevie Ray Vaughan box set he got me.
