And we had fun matching a charity to the recipient's interests, too. Have a great holiday! Thinking I'll have pecan pie! Doug,

Great ideas, all. And we had fun matching a charity to the recipient’s interests, too.

Have a great holiday! Thinking I’ll have pecan pie!

My family has been donating to charity in each others' names for some time. We decided a person only needs so many knick-knacks and ill-fitting sweaters. I'd remind people also that there are many deserving LOCAL charities to which one can give as well. Our area hosts a "Giving Tree" though which modest Christmas gifts are given to those might not otherwise receive them; the local animal shelter always gets some of my money; and the United Way supports a range of great projects. All the very best and happy holidays! Have a second piece of pumpkin pie just for me. Doug Hi Carolyn,
