[Prudence]

Frankly I wouldn't give to Toys for Tots anyhow. Don't get me wrong - I think the dolls are lame. But around here the Toys for Tots acceptible/not acceptible lists are so restrictive - they basically only want *the* coolest, most expensive toys. And I know that no kid wants a dorky talking Jesus doll, but I can't afford to buy *myself* an xbox - much less give one away. Plus, with the expensive toys, I always worry about the parents selling them. And not just for drugs, although I confess I worry about that, too. But heck, an xbox = gobs and gobs of ramen, a warm coat, etc... I prefer to do the adopt-a-family stuff where there's a need and a want item for everyone, and the requests are specific.
