All I want for Christmas...

Instead of buying into the current shopping frenzy, here's what I want from my friends and loved ones for Christmas:

  • Donate to a local food bank
  • Collect all your plastic, glass, and aluminum cans and bottles from your festivities and recycle them
  • Help out a family in your local neighborhood who needs help with groceries
  • Go through your house and collect all your unused stuff to donate to a mission or thrift store
  • Instead of spending an hour on Facebook, take a walk through your neighborhood and pick up trash as you go
  • Make a donation to the Crisis Pregnancy Center ((read: does not do abortions)) in Salina, KS.
  • Buy a child a book instead of a video game

  1. Allegra and I "took" a child from the giving tree and will buy clothes for her this Christmas. It a local charity helping the poor. She wants a small toy, so we will get her that plus some shoes probably. :-)
