since all agendas are bad in your books and you have to have an agenda or motivation to do something other wise you wouldn't do it - anyone who does anything is the equivalent of the nazis or pedophiles, right?
or - how do you decide between 'good' agendas and 'bad' agendas?

Thanks for putting words in mouth, while ignoring the gist of what I wrote.
Never did I
compare OCC to nazi's or pedophiles, I commented on the tactic of driving an agenda (conversion to evangelical christianity, which is their agenda NOT promoting caring and humanitarianism) by the use of gifts for children by suggesting that if the gift was all that mattered, as you suggest, it shouldn't matter whether the gift came from OCC, the Aryan Nation or from that group that condones sex with children.
As long as the children are happy, right?
Never did I say that "all agendas are bad". I said lets recognize that OCC isn't doing what they do simply to make kids feel good about Christmas. They openly state that their desire is to convert children to their brand of evangelical Christianity and the message of intolerance that it's President preaches.
YOU are the person who ignores or excuses OCC's agenda because it tugs at your heartstrings.
