15 Dec giving {349/365}
I’m joining in with the Mortal Muses Holiday Prompt.
9 MUSES MUSING
18 Days of Holiday Prompts and Daily Giveaways
December 15th – January 1st
The Holiday fun kicks off today with the first prompt, ‘giving’.
I’m not going to get all preachy and tell you that giving should be a year ’round thing. You know it should. But I’d love it if, at this time of year while you’re out and about buying all of your special gifts, mixing up your fun Christmas drinks, and enjoying the abundance of food that is everywhere you look (don’t look at my waistline, thanks) you keep in mind the countless families and those all alone who are not enjoying the same type of holiday that you might be. And give a little more.
Head on over to the Mortal Muses and join in for 18 days of Holiday Inspiration. I can’t promise you’ll see all eighteen days here, seeing as how I haven’t even started my shopping yet (shush) but I’m going to try my best.
This time of year, inspiration is all around :)

Posted at 08:04h, 16 DecemberYou know, I looked all over for a Salvation Army kettle and couldn’t find one!
Of course, it was snowing like mad, so maybe that’s why ;)

Posted at 05:46h, 16 DecemberI completely agree and now would be a good time to mention that for this year’s Christmas donation in your name, and those of mine and Richard’s sisters and brother, we gave to the Children’s Cancer Christmas Fund. This fund provides Christmas presents to children who cannot go home for the holiday because of their illness. Last year, it was mosquito netting for children in Africa and the year before it was for the Kingston Children’s Toy Drive. Since starting to do this, we look abroad one year and then locally the next. It has caught on in the family with Robin and Dave (at least) doing the same. I can’t think of a better way to recognize your loved ones than to donate to a charity in their name.
