what's the scam then 

If some little kids were helped out on Christmas I'll give anyone a pass including an attention junkie.

There are plenty of real problems and issues LWGF spams about on the DDO that you can mock, tear down, abuse but  don't waste valuable Vault space with your bitching about something that actually might have been decent.

Pick your battles, and pick your bitching, or your bitch is going to battle you.

You can hardly go wrong with helping others. Karma works in my experience and the universe has been very generous to me so far. Still he is doing it wrong – most points are rewarded when you don’t brag about it.

And then there is the “teach a man how to fish”-problem, what are the chances that the family can't afford x-mas presents next year again? A banking/budgeting app that sums up your monthly earnings and spendings helps a lot if you have to cope with a tight budget. (I would do that AND getting some presents, the app alone would be kind of dickish.) If things are worse and you have no chance to create income on your own emigration is the next best things. I always wonder why people stick to shitty places without a perspective. I didn’t.

There are inherent issues with the current accepted human conditioning paradigm that would have to be addressed before this would ever happen.   A lot of folks are not even aware that they can harness their will and apply it to
survive.  It sucks when you complacently and blindly accept your circumstances and lack the will to make yourself WORK to change it.

Pavlov, bitches. If needing attention and praise is his real motivation, then give him that for good things like this. Knocking him down over it only makes you feel good.

This ain't like veterans. Millions of people pretend to be Santa.

The kids should pay for it.  That way they learn the lessons their parents should have learned and they can grow up to be assertive responsible people, who don't let that happen to their children.

Otherwise the circle just continues.

My thoughts exactly.

Okay, let's apply your weak-will theory to rich people. Are there weak-willed rich people? If so, why are they rich?

So you are saying that the conditions you are provided as a child have effect on your adult life? How could that be?

Also,you sound like you did well in life. So you are obviously someone who didn't get xmas gifts as a child, otherwise you would feel you didn't need to work to get things

Yes and no.  The weak point to their "poor" childhood as an excuse to why things are so wrong for them.  The strong don't give a shit.
