Look at that #ChristmasCrazy total --------->
Well done, y'all. We've got ten days to get another $4000 worth of toys compiled. If history is to be trusted, we can do that. So, LET'S DO THAT. New items have been added to the wishlist, so maybe give it a glance? And don't worry if life isn't handing you mountains of money these days. Every little bit really does come together to add up to a big bit. For example, right now there are about 35 Kindle Fires gathered together in my dining room. They were sent by 18 different people. One thing here and another thing there and somehow we collectively manage to build a mountain.
You know, like this.
That's the 2019 pile, just for reference. We usually end up with a mountain that's about as wide as my dining room and about 7 feet tall. I would super love to have this year's pile reach the top of the Christmas trees, though. I think the rainbow tree is 7.5 feet tall, so we're not that far off ...
There's one other little thing that I need. If you have a kid, no matter what age, and they have their heart set on some specific toy, maybe drop me a comment or @ me on twitter? I would like to round out the wishlist with a few "must have" items that have been crowd-sourced. I've gotten lots of feedback from Center for Victims, but as always, they're mostly like, "Whatever is great! We're just so appreciative!" so let's put them in a position to be superstars in the eyes of some tiny humans.
Thanks so much for all of your help so far, and let's keep this thing going.
