@Natasha_Jay I'm torn here.

This is good advice that will help poor kids.

But at the same time: who is it that chucks out old toys they gave to their kids? those don't belong to you! you gave them to your children!

Christmas would have had a *very* different meaning for me if I understood it as "you can play with these for a while, but they're not yours. we can take them any time we want."

@fishidwardrobe @Natasha_Jay Maybe asking the kids to clear out older toys before Christmas so other kids can get some toys for Christmas too?
You don't have to take them away of the kids without them have something to say about that. I'm sure many kids would gladly give some toys to others knowing that there will be new ones at Christmas.
(Maybe even without the Christmas part)
@CyberPunker @Natasha_Jay sure, that's different.
