Day Two Hundred Thirty-Five

It has been 10 days since Halloween. I mention that fact not because I want to make you feel old, though it may accomplish that, but because Y'ALL!

$1400+

We haven't even peeked at Thanksgiving yet, but Christmas Crazy is already up over $1400. That. Is. AMAZING.

Good job, each and every one of you.

Of course, our work here is not yet done. We've got a lot of kids who could use a little sunshine and happiness this holiday season, so wander on over to that there Amazon Wish List and pick a few things out. Or, if you'd prefer, send a few dollars via Paypal. Either way, kids who have witnessed the worst that humanity has to offer will get a moment to see the best that humanity has to offer.

It's a two-for-one deal, by the way. Not only will a child get to open a gift this holiday season when he or she might not otherwise, but Mila will get to be positively delighted in the meantime. She really super loves going through the boxes and telling me which things she hopes she too will get. My favorite part of this, as always, is that her actual Christmas gifts show up at the same time as Christmas Crazy, so there's this fun thing where I get to watch her COMPLETELY NOT CARE about something I bought her, while being charmed by something I would have never picked for her.

I generally donate the thing that I discovered she doesn't want and go buy the thing she did want. It does all work out, but only after she has thoroughly destroyed my heart and soul.

ANYWAY! Christmas Crazy! Let's keep it going!
