Someone in my boyfriend's (Rebeefio -- see photo in the last post) family is sponsoring an orphan for the holidays this year instead of giving gifts. They sent a really cool email to everyone with a picture of the little girl and a brief description of her life and goals. How totally awesome.
Last year I posted my favorite charity of the year, but I've seen tons this year and can't choose just one. Luckily, though, there's a Charity Navigator that allows you to browse charities from all over the world and view evaluations of each one. There's even a Holiday Giving Guide 2006 for you last-minute shoppers!
It's always wonderful to get a card that says something nice has been done in my name. When you think about it, we love giving presents about as much as getting them. Sometimes more, really. Charity gifts make the getting experience a giving experience as well. :) So if you're considering donating to a charity instead of buying a random present for your loved one, I say go for it!
