Guy's hear me out please? I'm really deeply saddened by this and it makes me quite emotional.

I was in Iceland on my way home to pick up some stuff I seen on the I'm A Celebrity sponsor adverts such as The Mini Cake Towers.

I passed a aisle where they had 'Frozen Turkey Dinner' and it made me so upset.

I just can't stop thinking that some people actually aren't as fortunate as us.
Whilst we are all sitting around the table with our dinner, opening presents and watching Eastenders and stuff like that, Some other people are sitting in their living rooms with no families or loved ones, probably sitting with a little turkey dinner they've made in the microwave and are probably watching the news in the dark before going to bed at 7 all alone.

And then of course you think of the people on nights like tonight where it's freezing and they are homeless whilst we are all in warm houses, and if you think how some of us are actually cold in our houses with the heating on, think how cold those poor people must be in the street corners alone in the snow and stuff with nowhere to go.

I'm almost in tears here at the thought of this.

I was thinking of hosting a community event for these people sometime around Christmas?

I just want them to have somewhere or some place to go to meet new friends and just get fed properly and make this the best Christmas ever for them, I really do I just want to give something to them instead of some spare change.

I realise I'm usually quite insensitive about this kind of stuff, but I just, It's times like this where you realise how lucky you are and I want to let the homeless people have something to love and something to call their own, I want you to love them too there's just got to be something or somewhere they can do on Christmas?

I spoke to my mum about organizing something but she laughed at the thought of me doing this, I realise I'm 14 and no one will care but If I could get the right people involved then maybe, just maybe this Christmas won't be so cold after all.


And this song below, always brings a tear to my eye and makes me think of these people.

Because it really is true what Darlene says you know,
Nobody ought'a be all alone for Christmas, they just shouldn't.

It really isn't right.

Does anyone know how I would go about organizing this?
I was thinking of talking to the Community Centre manager.

Don't expose yourself to any persuasive music or strobe lights for the next few hours. It's for your own safety.

1)Stop calling everyone bastards.

2)If you do want to do something get in touch with your local homeless shelter and ask if you can help out. Dont try and do something to help on your own you will just end up getting bummed in a ditch.

That's an outrage!

It's for a good cause, Your boss is a complete bastard if he's doing this to you.
Did you explain what it was for?

I don't call everyone Bastards, Just a few.

Thanks for the advice, I'm going to try and get in contact with them.

That was what I thought when I first opened the thread, the first few lines are so similar to something he would write

seems kinda reasonable, I mean I know its not always the case, but its probably their own fault they are homeless anyway

I'm feeling your pain Patrick..

I can't stand the thought of people being alone/lonely/cold/hungry at xmas!

[Smithy]

We had someone in today talking about homelessness

[Jordan.]

The frozen turkey dinner sounds quite appealing, dont be too upset Patrick. :')

[sooty]

Patric, you have matured over the year!

I still remember your last year's Christmas presents thread.

no1curr.

[Miss Ivy Balls]

Good for you Patrick.

Very nice of you.

There was a heron in our garden this morning and despite what he did to Jade I still felt awfully bad that this heron must have been cold and starving.

I almost felt like going down the fish mongers to get our resident heron some fish.

But, if you really want to do something then why don't you ask your parents to not get you anything for Christmas this year and ask for money. With that money that they give you, you can donate it to a homeless charity.

[Stacey.]

^ No-one in their right mind would want money for christmas, just to donate it :L
