Unfair.. Why does Santa go to homes of only those who cud actually by themselves get what Santa brings them? Why does Santa not visit homes of those who actually need them? Why doesn't Santa give gifts to the poor and the drained? How could the Santa be so biased? Very unfair... Who will get gifts to to houses where Santa doesn't go?

And they would always dine together, just like they used to, with their father in too, till about 3 years back.

So selfish we are, paying tribute for our satisfaction. We should be angry about it and not contended by paying a two minute silence tribute. ..FRIEND- What do you suggest we s
