Just a thought... the last year that I had too much on my plate and got horribly behind, I bought fleese blankets at wally world (20) and donated them to Homeless shelter. The recepients were soooo happy. Donated them in the name of each person on my list (kept my name out of it entirely) and sent a picture to each person on my list with a note on the blanket and the Christmas tag with their name on the blanket. EVERYONE loved it ! Sara

Many people want to give to worthwhile causes but get caught up in the Holiday to-do and feel relief that someone has done some good for others and they get the benefit of generosity without effort.
