right now i am the one who needs charity... :P
kidding!!
well if i got 1000's of dollars on christmas morning .....
i would FAINT !!
then when i would be awoken ..... (smelly shoes)....... the rest of the day i would spend in disbelief and couting the dollars over and over again!!
then i would quickly hand it over to my dad to put it in my account before i wake up from this dream......
then i would check my account after sometime to reconfirm it.....
:P
whatelse can you do.... if i had to give it to some charity......
i would give it to an organisation that takes care of street animals, abandoned animals and sick animals......
other than that i guess if the money is still in my account after reconfirmation i would go to the store or mall as soon as i can and spend it all before it dissapeares the way it appeared !!

yes definately there is a reason ....
major one is that a person has the ability to shout and tell others what is happening to them so it could be treated probably.....
but what would animals do?
even if they cry out in pain would you be able to know where the pain is?
so they need special care and attention rather than people who can talk and get things done.....
while animals cannot.....

If I get a thousand dollars, well it depends. I will give ten percent of that to tithes, and I will give some to my favorite charity that I always wanted to help but could not, the people in Eastern Europe who are freezing throughout the winter. I would also get the house fixed up so my husband can get around better, a Macpro laptop computer, a new printer, a very good bluray DVd player, take a trip with my husband outside of Canada. The other I will put in the bank. There is a lot I can do with it, but I would rather it goes to various projects rather than give all to charity or all to the house, or all to kitchen or computer supplies.

I think I will reinvest the money and hopefully it will grow on its own. I think it's better that way than spending it on something out of being impulsive. That would really be nice to have some extra money as a gift *laughs*.

Well, I don't think I deserve that much money! I guess I would be obligated to put most of it into my college fund, but I would just have to enjoy the gift at least a bit, maybe a little shopping spree as soon as the after Christmas mall rages are over. There's not a lot of things I would want to do with it, but I'm sure there will be some way for me to spend it.

I would give it to a most wonderful needy person, me.
If Santa wanted to give me thousands every month, I would be more generous like giving some money to the local food bank, they always seem to be struggling, a donation to the Heart and Stroke foundation and one to the Cancer society. I would like to cure someone of leprosy, I cannot imagine having such a disease and not be able to afford the medication for a cure. Apparently it only takes about 30$ month for a year to cure someone.

We Chinese people do not celebrate Christmas much, so this morning I woke up and went to work as ususal. But this special day is always facinating to me because it fills my heart with expectations. Wondering whether I'll receive some beautiful gifts from Santa Claus the previous night before Christmas keeps me very exoicted. Yesterday night, I lay in bed, thinking about the same thing. Of course, to get thousands of dollars as Christmas gift is something I've never thought about.
Suppose it really happenend, I think the first thing I'll do is to buy a house for my parents. They have devoted their whole life time to support me, to which I'm deeply grateful. Then, I'll use the money to solve my own financial problems. Finally, if there are still some money left, I'll donate it to "Project Hope", which is a charity institute in China.

oooooo well if santa would give me that much of money
first thing would be i would thank him for doing so
then take the money and count how much of dollars i have then if i have more thousands first i would give it to my mother, because she is the person in need of money to get out of the debts and then if still left with more dollars i would purchase gifts for all, go to orphanages, old age homes, for blinds and distribute some contribution there
and if i am still left with the money
then i will buy some things for myself and my honey
and then still left with more dollars then i will make my dream come true, i will build a school for underprivileged in my village and provide them education
What i believe is if you give someone food it quench their hunger for one day and if you give them education they will find their way to quench their hunger and also help others
I will do all these even if santa doesn't give me the money, he will help me some way nor the other.

what a great dream. if i get that amount of money, the new laptop i dream of will definitely be what the money for and i will believe that santa is too busy to buy me a laptop and therefore give me equivalent money instead of it.LOL...
wish you good luck and merry chrismas.

First, exacting, and thingk about if that is a dream. If it is ture, I will first, buy some gifts again to my parents, relations, my dear frieds. To buy something they real need, but for the money, they can't buy the things they want. I feel happy if I got the money, that is not enough, I would like to share my joy with my friends.

I hope its really wonder, if it happen in real. I just close my eyes and will ask my soul what to do? I am sure, it will say to spend it for charity. But I wont! I will return to Santa and will strictly instruct to distribute to Poor and Needy where it will creates happiness in there life.

Thousands of dollars? I'll entrced with that. I'll give half of the money to charity. I'll reserved the half of the left to my deposit. Then the left will be used to buy clothing, food, present for my parents, friend, relatives.

Somehow I found that question easy. Definitely I would go home. Currently I am in the US but I'm from Europe. Round trip ticket is approximately $1000 so :) it would be enough.

Wow.. To get a thousand dollars as a christmas gift?? That'll be great!!
I'll put half in the savings account.. And not touch it.. Then half would go to my credit card..
Well, a thousand is not to say a big amount.. but it will help out!!
If it was like 5000 dollars.. Now that would solve all my problems.. Just pay for all my credit card debts.. and I'll be a happy camper!!
But, we can't be greedy.. and it's a thousand dollars.. I'll save half.. for rainy days.. (once you start saving.. you'll be able to add a little here and there in the bank) lol.. then yeah.. to my credit card debts.. It wouldn't pay all of it, but it will help..
Recession will probably hit the world soon... And money is really vital to survive..
Well, Merry Christmas!!
Thanks for starting this dream subject!!

First, I'd have to wonder where the money came from. We don't have a $1000 to just give away right now.
Then, if the money was free and clear, I'd use the money to get caught up on a few of the bills we're behind on. I know, it's not a very fun answer, but what can you expect at this time of year.
