1. hey hey

I do volunteer gift wrapping in stores and they say I have to start Nov 25th - I will be sitting there twiddling my thumbs.

ETA - I know Hanukkah is early, but I rarely get people who want me to wrap Hanukkah gifts. Maybe I can get some Diwali work this year?

2. if you're volunteering why not tell them

you can't start until the 30th.
they either want your help or they don't.

3. stores make the rules - if I wanted Christmas week, I had to work in November as well.

I got Christmas eve in 2 stores and Christmas eve eve in another. Hoping to break 2 thousand this year. That is helping 10 kids with disabilities or 1/5 of a rec program . My friend makes 6K each year for the organization, I am trying to catch up to her, she works like a dog.

We compete with other charity organizations for these spots. They are getting fewer each year,
