(no subject)
Y'know, I keep trying to do the "ten things for Christmas" meme, and it's just not working. On the one hand, I'm easy to please and always amazed that someone wants to give me something, so I can't really narrow the whole world down to 10 things. On the other hand, I have pretty much everything I need and a large portion of what I want...so I can't really come up with 10 things.
1. I've got stuff. Lots of stuff. I need more stuff like I need these extra (number deleted) pounds around my waist and on my butt. But there's plenty of folks out there who don't have stuff--and it's going to get worse before it gets better. Donations to the Northern IL Food Bank that are made via this link webapps.northernilfoodbank.org/donatecmf/ go twice as far, since they'll be matched by the Community Memorial Foundation. Or support your local literacy organization, animal rescue, Scout troop or Goodwill.
2. Time with you. Quiet time to talk and listen, whether it's going for a ramble in a park or grabbing a cuppa (or a pint) somewhere.
3. Anything homemade, whether it's a song or a plate of cookies or a snowflake to hang on my tree. It's time you spent for me.
4. Food, fiber, wood, words in a row...things that are pretty or smell good or taste good. Stuff to fiddle with. Flowers.
Yah. Okay, I give up...you're on your own.
