Any ideas would be great help because otherwise I have to go to church with my girlfriend and I am really not feeling that at all. I guess they have these programs at churches but I would have to sit through a service and that is maddening to me.

Tom,
Many churches just have a gift tree in the back where you take the tag and bring back the present at a later date. No need to sit through the service. It's pretty late in the season though, and our gifts are due this week.

The sit through the service part is girlfriend related. If I can't find a family to help, I have to sit through a service and then talk to the pastor and all that stuff and let him find a family.

If you need any ideas for next year, the Department of Social Services puts out a list for foster children.
