Regifting 101: One sure-fire way to successfully pass it on:

If your heart and your wallet have different ideas about making monetary donations, it is time to summon your inner regifter.  An unwanted gift could be a welcome donation to a charitable organization. For help selecting a charitable organization, visit the Better Business Bureaus’ Wise Giving Alliance. You can also contact the government office responsible for registering charities in your state. A little research upfront will make sure that your donation is put to good use.  If the process of selecting a charity seems daunting, remember, you benefit from giving as well.  

We live in interesting times

I have noticed this December that people are having  a hard time getting in the holiday mood. My theory is that people may feel it is inappropriate to be jolly when there is so much sadness hovering like a cloud over the season.
