It's never too late!
Child's Play Charity. You can make a difference to a sick child - click on the banner, check out the map and select which hospital you'd like to support. Even the purchase of a $10.00 book will be a wonderful help to a kid stuck in a hospital bed. Fellow Haligonians: YES, the IWK is one of the hospitals with a Child's Play wish list!
Also, if you can't do it this year there's always next year! Keep it in mind, start an office pool, maybe occasionally substitute that Tim's coffee for a cup o' homebrew, and put the savings in a jar for the kiddies. This is my plan for next year, as I have very little money to work with presently (hah), and will likely be selecting a $10.00 book.
Anyway! Happy belated solstice, Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Cheerful Yuletide, Joyous Kwanzaa ... did I miss any? Right! So! Happy holidays to everyone.
