it's that time again y'all. the "holiday season".
this time last year, i was all a-rant, disgusted at the buying. this year i've had a change of heart or at least a revision of opinion.
there's nothing wrong with giving. i just don't think christmas should be the only time we think about doing for others.
however, i was recently made aware of a project that gets into full swing at christmas. i think it's interesting that it's sponsored by a church. but that's only because i don't like the way obsessive spending this time of year is tied to religious piety by some religious folk who (i feel) should really know better.
that said, this particular project does give all year long. we are participating because i think it's a cool thing to do and my daughter wants to as well.
it's called operation christmas child and it's sponsored by an organization called shepard's purse. go check it out. here's the link: Samaritan's Purse
for those of you who like to give without spending a dime, here's another link. you can do this one right at your desk and it's fun: Make a Snowflake
