I was inspired by you. I got 3 seniors off an Angel tree. They had no kids on this one. One lady only asked for hard candies, so you know I had to get her a lot more than that. It was so much fun. I am hoping they like their gifts. 🎄
They're going to love them. Thank you for doing it. I am in hospital in England Ashford. When I get out I'm going to find some Angel children and also send prezzies to the two girls I sponsor with World Vision. They are no longer at risk of child marriage. Thank God for that.
I don’t know if you realize how accessible your videos are. You’re explaining something that might come easy to some, but without judgement explain it so detailed and with enthusiasm. It’s so great to watch!
Angel Tree Kids FAQs: 1. Yes, this process is completely anonymous. The kids/parents/guardians will never know who I was, and vice versa, as it should be. 2. No, I don't have any way to "prove" that the parents/guardians will actually give the presents to the kids. 3. Yes, there is a possibility that they'll sell the presents and keep the money for themselves...However, I can say that the facility that manages this particular Angel Tree knows the parents/guardians and children personally. They are all vetted and known to at least one employee there. These aren't just people who walked in off the street and filled out a form. 3a. (I prefer not to automatically assume the worst in any given situation, especially if it's a situation where I'll never know one way or the other how it played out.) 4. Yes, I spend significantly more per child than that required $75-100. I do what I want. 5. Yes, I suppose I could spend less per child and adopt more children off the tree. I could also just give every kid a Hershey bar and adopt them all. Maybe take some of that speculative energy and put it into helping someone in your own community instead of wasting it here. I'll add to this list as the Grinches show up and find more problems where none existed previously. * If the audio sounds bad, try going to Settings - Additional Settings - Stable Volume, and turn Stable Volume off.

No joke, I need a Christmas sweater that says "I learned my wrapping skills from SouthernASMR Sounds" I became the best wrapper i know because of the tips you've shared with us over the years, Mary!! Great video as always! I can't wait to see what kinds of clothes you got for the kiddos!! :)
So many of your videos are about giving to other people in need and it honestly warms my heart. You restore my faith in humanity in a world that is getting worse by the second
Our family just dropped off our angel tree gifts. They are all for moms who have recently moved out of our local woman’s shelter. We don’t wrap them because the moms want to do it. We do provide paper to wrap them with though. ❤
Mary, you inspired me 3 years ago to start buying presents for children in a program similar to Angel Tree, as well as buying school supplies when school starts. And just like you, I get shoes, clothes, a coat, toys and sweets. I always try to include a stocking. This year I can barely lift the gift bag😂
I did a similar thing at my workplace because I thought of you and the Angel tree kids!! Every year, I watch your videos on them, and I’ve always wanted to do it myself. Thank you for sharing so much of your life (and your generosity) with us! ❤
Ah, enjoyed this 😊. Isn’t it funny how we all approach things differently? Mary likes the front of the gifts facing away from the sellotaped side. I always wrap mine so the front is the same side as the sellotape, so that when the children unwrap the gift, they see the front immediately on opening. So generous with your gifts and your time as always Mary.
This is something that I have debated with myself! I always do it the way Mary does but it has crossed my mind that the other way would make sense too. Cool idea!
Hi Mary! I was inspired by your angel tree kids videos and got a 15 year old girl to get gifts for this year🤩As a young girl in her 20’s i’m really excited bc I feel like we still like a lot of the same stuff so it shouldn’t be too hard to shop for her lol. Thank u for pushing me to finally do this though! ❤
My 1st concert was a big festival and Metallica was the big headliner. I joined their fanclub and won an autographed t-shirt for writing a funny poem for the Christmas edition of their fanclub magazine. That was over 20 years ago, and I still have it.
i got two kids off the tree this year ! i was only going to get one , but then one of them just said "anything" and its a 7 year old girl and it broke my heart , so two kids it is !
Thank you for being so inspiring Mary! I always make a 1/2 inch fold over on the unfinished edges that will be showing before taping down so it reinforces the edges and you don’t have to use as much tape!
I just thought of a cute idea for a video! Kinda like the “snack shack” video but with possible presents. Like a present boutique and then you wrap what we pick 🤓😎
Have a Happy Thanksgiving Mary! I have been watching you for years now, I never missed a video. I discovered your channel when I was 16 and I’m 22 now, Just ordered a sweatshirt to show my support! Thank you for all your videos, everyday I pray that you are well and continue to make videos for many more years to come! You inspire me and many more folks to help others! You’re amazing! P.S. That Metallica sweater is so cool and iconic!
Thank you for the lovely video! I would like to point out a positive since I did leave a comment on a couple videos ago. There is no static sound in this video! I’m not sure if it’s a different mic or not but I’m not hearing it at all! 😴
They’re performing in Lane Stadium in May! You should totally go, it’s going to be epic. Enter Sandman is our football entrance song so it’s going to be an awesome show
Hi Mary how you doing today I love the Christmas sweater Mary I love metallica Mary this video means so much to me as a child whose parents sign up for Angel tree I love Mickey mouse Mary Mickey mouse is my favorite character right Mary you are a angel Thank you For bringing some happiness for these children Your awesome Mary and thanks for sharing this with us and keep up the good work and you rock🎸mary and enjoy your evening and God bless you Mary to your family ❤❤💞💕❤❤💓💓🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🌈🌈🌈💓💓💓❤❤💕💕❤💓💓🌈🌈🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🌈🌈🌈🌈💓💓💓❤❤💕❤❤💓💓🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈
Hope you have an awesome Metallica concert, Mary! I saw them twice last summer when they were doing the no repeat weekend gigs and they wer incredible!
My mom and I usually do a few of these letters off one of our local trees. I don't know if the store that was hosting it this year was greedy or if most kids truly wanted specifically gift cards to the store itself, but those felt truly uninspiring. I would think the store could add a gift card ON TOP of what the kids specifically wanted. But perhaps that's too anti-capitalist of me to expect.
Very envious you’re going to see Metallica. I’ve been trying to decide on a Christmas gift for Himself….maybe I’ll see if they are coming to our area. Thanks for the great idea!
I was literally just watched a video about former Metallica bass player Jason Newstead before this video, I hope the gig you went to was OK because I know that tour had problems.

5:15 "You don't have to worry about him suffocating because he's in a bag, and he's already done that." 😂 Mary, your comedic touch is impeccable!
awww this video means so much to me as a child whose parents sign up for angel tree each year :)
@@Frostiesololz wonderful xx

As a Metallica and Mary fan, this is the crossover I never knew I needed!

“You don’t have to worry about him suffocating because he’s in a bag and he’s already done that” I “HA”’d out loud 😂
Mary teasing us by holding and showing us her scissors, but not hypnotizing us with the cutting of the paper…😢
It's loud as shit. Sorry.
@ 😆 Happy Thanksgiving & many blessings to you! May you get a little break over the holidays 🦃🤎🧡💛

Liked, shared, thanked.
FIRST HI MARRY!!❤❤❤
Ha, Mickey already suffocated. You are so funny!
it always drives me crazy when people tape to the gift too, that comes from my mom, her big rule was always 'never tape to the present!' lol
If you can please thank Mary for this video financially. MARY uses the money for charitable ends.
I was literally just watched a video about former Metallica bass player Jason Newstead before this video, I hope the gig you went to was OK because I know that tour had problems.
wesome
I envy your organisation mary! You have your s**t together and it shows! 😂
Metallica 🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
