Keep It Coming, Please

I know I've mentioned it a time or ten, but I don't actually understand how this Christmas Crazy thing works. I mean, I know how it WORKS, behind-the-scenes anyway, but after I do all sorts of work and post a few links, THAT is when I get confused. I think y'all click the links? And do stuff? But, like, there are way more of you than I expect every single year.

Also, some of you are SO incredibly generous. I mean, wow.

It should be stated that I don't keep attendance. I read every single gift receipt and message sent my way, but I don't check off my list to make sure people show up year-after-year. But I know some of you do. I know for a fact that some of you have never once missed a year and basically, if I were a hugger. I would hug you. Twice.

ANYWAY, we're over $2000 into this adventure. That leaves us about $8000 to go. Frankly, I am simultaneously blown away and worried about that we won't get there. That might not make sense, but trust me when I say it does in my head.

Here's the thing. For the past six or so years, I've managed to wind Christmas Crazy through my day job. As in, there's a second Amazon Wishlist especially for a special group of people who have to deal with me face-to-face on a daily basis. The place I worked up until December 2020 was extra good at this little project. While strangers on the internet still did most of the heavy lifting, those co-workers definitely rounded things out. But I left that place (... there's a whole story there yet to be told). I reached out to some of those former co-workers to see if that place would play along again this year even though I wasn't there, and hahahahahalolz. It turns out that when you've managed to bring over four people to your new place of employment, senior leadership doesn't like you or your projects so much anymore. Maybe the Director of Sales was a step too far?

I don't know. Maybe they could suck less. That would probably deter people from leaving.

ANYWAY. Not having that guaranteed participation from people who I can beg in meetings every day is making me nervous. I've already got about a few new game pieces on the board and am working on getting them to go the right direction, but MAKE ME LESS NERVOUS, INTERNET.

Help.

Please.

Shop from the Amazon Wishlist and I will make sure every last toy and gift makes it to a kid receiving services from Center for Victims. Or, throw a few dollars towards PayPal. I'll turn those dollars into toys and get them to Center for Victims' kids as well.

Thanks. :-)
