Just a quick note to those of you who haven’t already volunteered for Mr X that there is still time if you want to participate.
And just to tug on those heart strings…
This year, Mr X has more than 4,500 kids across South West Wales on his list. “It does make a difference to people’s lives,” he said.
“We all know how magical a time Christmas can be, and those happy memories stay with you for life. Sadly, some children run the risk of not having that. It’s an appeal like no other,” he added. “It’s not a case of just putting in your hand in your pocket. Because people go out and buy gifts, it gives the appeal more of a personal touch. In doing that, it encourages people to think of those less well-off.”
“I know people’s spending is going to be tight this year, but I’m not asking for money. All I want is for people to buy presents, and they don’t have to go on a crazy shopping spree.”
“People can be creative — It’s really not about how much you buy, but the thought of all that joy you will be bringing.”
