Answer:

First of all, I don't deem it to be necessary for everyone around the world to celebrate a lavish Christmas. Reason being, obviously, the underprivileged feel out of place because they cannot celebrate. This opinion remains the same for all the festive seasons that have unnecessary spending including Eid and Diwali as well. I believe that same money should be donated to persons who essentially are in need of it.

Coming back to point, it is our moral duty to try our best to provide a decent Christmas celebration to those who cannot afford it. The best way through this, since children are the subject here, is to act as a Secret Santa for children and leave presents for them on Christmas eve. This gives them that little happiness of the festive season, and it also comes in the truest form of traditional Christmas, the Santa Claus.

I think its sad and unfortunate that there are so many underpriviledged children out there, at this time of year I would make Christmas special by giving toys, donating books and games that I no longer use and just give back. There are so many things that many of us take for granted but for those kids, the smallest gesture can put a huge smile on their faces.

Underprivileged children are mostly deprived of either basic necessities or love. Mostly they feel themselves unworthy & burden. They do not need our pity rather unconditional care & love. They do not know what's are festivals like Christmas. Its just one of the day of a year. I want to feel them that they are worthy of, not just a burden, most importantly to be loved.
A Surprise Party with Santa along with lots of gifts. I like to invite all my friends & family there who will enjoy Christmas with those kids. Every invited person have to contribute something for their future welfare.

Question: What do you think about the problems faced by underprivileged childrens?How will you make Christmas special for such childrens?

Children are the future and it is the responsibility of adults to protect them and ensure that they get the best footing in life. Unfortunately, this is not always the case in many nations around the world. There are many terrible issues like poverty, lack of facilities and access to education, child labour and wrong influence on the children. These are not problems which can be sorted in the blink of an eye. The feeling of seeing young children suffering endlessly is inexpressible.

If I was given a chance to make underprivileged children's Christmas special, then I would opt for the simplest and most valuable thing anyone can give. Something which cannot be taken back when it's given and that is; time. Rather than just donating some money, spending time with them asking their names and what they like to do. Connecting with the children and showing them that you're interested in their country and culture by doing little things like dining with them in a local eatery. Make the children feel like they've done something special by asking them to teach you some of the basics of their language and teaching them a few phrases of yours. These are the priceless things which will leave a piece of you with the children.

But at the end of the day, there isn't much that can be done except donating to organisations in hope that you will make a difference.

Gifting the noble hearts: A merry Christmas

Christmas without presents, Isn't so pleasant

Gifts give joy, be it for a girl or a boy

But for them it's happiness

Once in a lifetime.

Spread Smile group is here to bring a smile on their lonely faces, to share presents and happiness.

To erase the pain and gift them joy and ecstasy this Christmas.

1.Books: It is said that Books wash away from the soul the dust of everyday life. What are Books? The pages with flowing words bounded together. Isn't it a joy to read and further more to gift? A book is always a pleasure in leisure. Let the joy reach the purest souls. Anyone who read a book as a child knows the value of a good piece of literature. Whether it's a fictional story, a biographical piece with lessons from history or an inspirational one or something very different, books have the spark to generate curiosity, introduce innovation and open the doors for opportunity.

So aren't Books a great choice for the Christmas reads? A chance for the frozen hearts to acknowledge, the importance for knowledge?

2. Toys: Childhood's constant companions are the toys, but in those dark cells there are none to talk to, none to laugh at and none to play with. Every Christmas we had lots of toys to play with, but they have none. This Christmas let's make the children happy. Let's turn their tears into smiles. They would love a soft teddy bear or a Car, a Barbie or a Robot. Won't their beaming faces, make you proud?

3. Clothes: We have a wardrobe full of too many clothes. But they have only a pair of tatters to wear every day. Clothes of many types, many sizes they would love to wear. A pant and shirt for a boy and for girls you have a variety of ranges from frocks to Indian to western. They would love them all. So aren't they a cool way of gifting this Christmas

4.Chocolates: The first thing which comes out of your hungry mouths, when you hear chocolate is Yummy', Delicious', I just love them'. But for them when basic necessities aren't available chocolates are a boon. Their mouth water's seeing their friends having one. But there is none to be told. Pitying won't help, a chocolate doesn't cost more than Rupees five or so but for them it's a joyous fest. So I don't think you would mind gifting them chocolate boxes this Christmas. Would you?

5. Handmade cards: What can make the kids happier than a card made by you? Their faces will surely beam with the joy of your present. Tuck a few gift cards in decorative sacks and then hand them to the young brigade, they would surely love your gift. What would be more valuable for them than your heart felt Christmas wishes?

6.Balloons: You love balloons because you love the birds flying in the air. Balloons they can touch the skies. They teach us to fly up without fears. Let's fill the frozen hearts with the joy of balloons. Nobody can be uncheered with a balloon. How much would they cost? Not much, not more than their gleaming faces

7. Games: As soon as the holidays start, we have lots of games to play. We all love playing this games in times of leisure. What about gifting the young souls, a chess board to test their intellect, a game of life' or a skate board this Christmas? Arriving in different forms, they would be easily available. The children would surely love them all

8.Candles: What happens when there's no electricity for a day? We panic, it's impossible for us to spend a day without light, but for them every day is dark and every night their homes have no light. Gifting them candles this Christmas won't just lighten their homes, but also their hearts. Let the light shine every day in their hearts.

So won't lighting candles embark their journey towards light? Won't they help driving away the darkness of ignorance from their lives? So what about gifting them candles? Cheap and worthy too.

9. Art set: Gifting art sets this season would add to the fun of Christmas. Painting is enjoyable for all children irrespective of the place they are born. This Christmas let's fill the lives of those children with colors of joy and paints. They would surely love an art set to fulfill their dream canvas.

10. Flower bouquet: If you find nothing at last, flower bouquets are the best to gift the kids. As kids surely love plucking flowers. They are available in a variety of shapes; sizes, colors and each one of them have a distinct smell. The flowers would fill the kids' heart with fragrance and love. Would teach them to grow through thick and thin. So even though you buy a flower bouquet, it would surely be a blissful day for the kids.

So do give gifts this Christmas, however big or small, the manner of giving is more important than the gift.

Spread happiness through the young hearts, that's the reason we [Spread Smile group are here].😆

Heading: Their Frozen Little Hearts

*tag*

Deepu, 9 years old, Deepu's father was a heavy alcoholic and died by setting fire to himself. His disabled mother was destitute and unable to look after Deepu, so he started begging at railway station.https://i.imgur.com/eEi7PA5.jpgPinkieis deaf and mute. She communicates using sign languages and lives in a slum, with her elder brother who works in tea stall in morning and juggle with oranges as an afternoon job in busy street.https://i.imgur.com/Ptqpjh6.jpgRukhsana, 17 years old, also has 9 months old baby girl. She had been on the streets for about 4 and half years. This baby girl is actually her second child, the first one died before the age of one. Nobody knows about the Father.https://i.imgur.com/KivYeRu.jpgRajan was abandoned by his mother after her second marriage. He now lives like an orphan. He has experiences of different kind of jobs like- pickpocketing, begging, wiping cars etc..https://i.imgur.com/FvKqDZU.jpgWe know we can't remove poverty. We know we can't change their lives overnight. But we can give them a chance to smile, a real carefree smile of glee.Children are said to be Gods. But these underprivileged children areliving in hell. The lights of Christmas eve never reaches to their tents.They never get to hear the sound of carols, and even if they do, they hardly feel anything about it.What we can do for these frozen souls and how? Why they will have to remain in sulky face when rest of the world is partying and having fun?Every human has right to be happy. So, this Christmas, Anna's Care Group has decided to lit up the darkest corner. We have tried every possible ways to make the underprivileged children happy and etch their little hearts with a joyful memory. The children's lives are colourless, subtle..we, Anna's Care Group are adding colour to their lives..colour of Christmas.

This Christmas- going to be different as this time the broken angels will smile..."The Lord will see us through someday;

Oh, deep in my heart, I do believe,

We shall overcome someday.."

*Scroll down to see what Spread Smile group does in city (name given in second post)*

The children and the people assembled in the community ground. There's all dark.

Deepu: Oh! So Santa lives in the dark?

Rukhsana: Not so certainly. I've heard that Santa lives in the far away northlands.

Rajan: Oh! We have been called out by the fake Santa to relieve the dark? I mean... *interrupted by a strange voice*

The lights go on. Everyone looks at the stage. Eyes fill up with excitement. Frost on. The entire setup is portraying the pole. Suddenly...

"Maybe I don't have a magic touch
And maybe I don't have a talent as such.
Just this heart with much too much to share,
So I'll never be the heir, but I'm more than just a spare!"

Ho...Ho...Ho... My children! There is no fake, no true. Everything lies in your mind only.

The young and innocent faces are mesmerized by seeing Santa for the first time. Their eyes glimmer and all ears hearing each and every word with outmost concentration.

Children! Do you know what Christmas is all about?

Deepu: We didn't but our dear Hrideyy told us yesterday about it. He told us about the legend of Jesus and mother Mary, why we celebrate Christmas and what all we do in Christmas.

Rajan: Yes! He told us that we celebrate Christmas to commemorate the birth of Lord Jesus. This holy festival tells us that god is always there for us and he always comes to our rescue whenever we think of him with a pure heart.

Santa: My Children! Christmas is not only about the Lord's incarnation. It's much more than that. It reminds us of our duties towards our family, our country and to the whole society. It tells us that a man's true jewels are his virtues, his truth and his honesty. Most importantly, this festival is for bringing smiles. Even me! I also gift children all over the world, watch over them the whole year but I don't get tired. Why? Because a smile of theirs soothes all my pain away. See this amazing story of how a young girl, Anna, celebrated her Christmas in a true and inspirational manner.

[Smile this Christmas tag goes here]

Santa disappears and then the stage turns into a polar scene where there is a cottage and there are some sorts of noise coming from there.

No...this can't happen. Not this year again.

Kristoff: What happened? Why are you crying so loudly and what's the strange smell coming from?

Anna: Can you even think of what just happened?

Kristoff: I'm no wizard nor I have any magical powers to know anything if you don't tell me. *annoyed*

Anna: Is it a time to joke? You know...my cake just burnt out!!!

Kristoff: What?! Do you know we had only a few ingredients left to do the cake?

Anna: I know. I have done all the cakes but don't know how but the last one spoiled..! Nor we have any ingredients left to finish it up. Time is also passing. We have only an hour left to leave for the town!

Kristoff: Ya,I know. So, what do we do now?

Anna: I don't know. I have made as many cakes. I don't think it will short out.

Kristoff: I too wish the same or else a child will be deprived of cake which we distribute between the cute and innocent children every year on Christmas.

Anna: Nothing will happen like that. Now just hurry up or else we will be late.

The scene shifts to a small village where Kristoff and Anna are shown distributing cakes.

Anna: Phew! All's done.

Kristoff: Now, let's get back to home.

Anna: Yeah!

They are getting back to their village where they see a small girl weeping. They go there.

Anna: *consoling the child* Hey, what happened?

Kristoff: Why are you crying and out in this chilly weather?

Girl: *stopping crying* I live in the nearby town. My parents passed away previous year. I just saw some children making merry in their homes, celebrating with their parents. I feel so lonely.

Anna: Oh! *pauses* don't cry and here we have something for you...

She checks inside her bag to get a cake but...

Anna: Kristoff, you were right. There isn't any down there...

Kristoff: What? I said you, right! Now?

Anna: *turning sad, she starts thinking something* Ermmm... Kristoff, will you come with me for a moment?

Kristoff: OK, sure.

They reach a sufficient distance from the girl...

Anna: Don't you think we should take this girl with Elsa? She will make her happy and this way, she will also get a smile on her face this Christmas. After all, we can't leave even a single child sad today!

Kristoff: You're right! But don't you think she'll get terrified or will run away in fear?

Anna: *sarcastically* only you can do so. Can anyone get terrified from Elsa? She's so nice!

Kristoff: OK, OK. Do what you want. I'm going to home to prepare the dinner. But yes, do come soon.

Anna: Yes! I'll come soon. And take this empty bag with yourself.

She gives him the bag of cake and he leaves. Anna goes to the girl.

Anna: Hey! What's your name?

Girl: Blossom.

Anna: Oh! So Blossom, do you want to have some fun with me?

Girl: Really, do you truly want to have fun with me? *A tear falls down*

Anna: Of course! And if you won't stop your teary tank, then I'll leave right now.

Girl smiles and wipes her tears away.

Anna: Yes! This is some good. Smile like this always. *in her ears* Do you know a fairy?

Girl: *amazingly* Whoa! Do you?

Anna: Yes! And I'm taking you to her. She will make your Christmas the happiest one.

They walk along.

Girl: What can she do?

Anna: She can do anything. She is an ice-fairy. She can lower down your age. She can turn you into me and much more.

Suddenly she stops and opens out a book from her pocket.

Anna: Where the frozen castle lie, Elsa calls us by.

They disappear and the scene shifts to an icy castle. A magnificent princess-like girl is standing.

Anna: Elsa!

Elsa: Anna! Meeting after such a long time. Last time you came to request an icy sword for a child to play with.

Anna: Oh! What can I do?! There is lots of work to do and Kristoff also does not help me.

Elsa: You're like that only. You always employ yourself in bring smiles to the children. You can't see a weeping face. And come on, Kristoff is a nice guy.

Anna: OK, OK. Look I've brought a pretty girl with me. *sees back but there's no one*

She moves her eyes around the floor and sees that Blossom is amazed by seeing such a huge castle.

Anna: Oh! There you are. Come here, Blossom!

She comes to her.

Anna: Elsa, this is Blossom and Blossom, she is Elsa, my fairy friend. I met her when I was young and she was also. She always makes everyone happy and it is her work to do. When I met her, I was weeping as my leg got hurt. But then she came and rubbed her hand on my wound and all my pain vanished. From then, we are friends.

Blossom: *stuttering* H-e-y-y!

Elsa: Oh, she's so cute. Not to fear me, Blossom.

Anna: Shes sad. So, I brought her to you Elsa. Cheer her up. I don't want to see her weep and that too, on Christmas.

Elsa: Not to worry about. I shall certainly make her have fun here.

Anna disappears.

Elsa: Come along with me, Blossom.

Then they move inside a hall and they have a lot of fun. Elsa makes her build a snowman. She does the snowfall. They have snow fight and much more.

The scene again shifts to the first one. Santa shows up.

Santa: So children! You must have understood now that Christmas is for celebration but without hurting others. It is a festival of having and sharing smiles. It is...

Suddenly, the beard drops.

Santa: O! O!

Deepu: So Santa's real name is Abhi? And Santa is a young boy!

Everyone laughs.

Following this, all other 10 also show up on the stage.

Taani: Guys! So now you must have known that this was all our plan. But the main thing is still left.

Sahana: Yes! We've got a surprise for you...

Roshni goes and switches something on the side of stage. And...

All the lights go on and everyone is carried about in the beautiful and bright view of the entire ground. There are lots of stalls, camps, circus, toy shops, a big tent and much more!
