The Joy of Saying “Yes” During the Holiday Season

As caregivers, we often find ourselves saying “no” more than we would like. No, you cannot wear shorts in the freezing cold. No, pancakes for dinner are not an option after having them for breakfast. No, a bath is still necessary even if you bathed yesterday and are now muddy. The word “no” can dominate our conversations with our children, which can be exhausting.

However, there are moments when it feels gratifying to say “yes.” Yes, you can have that video game. Yes, you can choose that stuffed animal. Yes, I will buy you that toy. Unfortunately, many parents struggle to provide these affirmations, particularly during the holiday season when financial constraints can be more pronounced.

Toys“R”Us and Toys for Tots: A Partnership for Joy

For over a decade, Toys“R”Us has collaborated with the Marine Toys for Tots Foundation to bring joy to children in need, particularly the 16 million children living in poverty across the United States. Through various fundraising and awareness initiatives, Toys“R”Us has successfully raised over $31.6 million and collected 3.75 million toys for the Toys for Tots program. This charitable effort is also supported by the Toys“R”Us Children’s Fund, a public charity associated with the company.

This year, former NBA star Michael Adams takes on the festive role of “Mike-A-Claus,” promoting customer donations to fulfill wishes for underprivileged children. As part of the #NoWishTooBig campaign, Toys“R”Us has launched initiatives to inspire families to contribute to this cause, and I highly encourage participation.

Bringing Joy to Families in Need

In a remarkable effort to ease the holiday season for families in need, Toys“R”Us, Toys for Tots, and our platform have teamed up to provide support. We are excited to offer one hundred $250 gift cards to deserving families. This initiative will bring immense joy to many kids on Christmas morning, and I wish I could witness their reactions in person.

Even more astonishing, three selected families will receive a unique opportunity for a $1,000 shopping experience at Toys“R”Us. Just imagine the joy and impact this will have on these children and their parents! I feel a rush of excitement when thinking about it. The recipients of the $250 gift cards will receive their cards in the next week, while the three fortunate families will embark on their extraordinary shopping experience soon.
