Christmas shopping poll

Poll question: Christmas shopping poll

Who's started Christmas shopping already? I've already started worrying about it. Since my family is very fortunate and nearly everyone I would buy for has nearly everything they need or want, I think I'll donate money in their names instead. Which of these worthy causes rings your bell? (I've already made my decision, pretty much.)

1. Jimmy Fund

Can't do better than helping kids with cancer. http://www.jimmyfund.org/

2. That's rather generous of you

My suggestion though.
The Speedo Survivors Fund, there are only two of us left :( :cry:, Bush got off the government aid given to us.
Ok now seriously, I'd help the church out, speaking as a Catholic, what has gotten me through my toughest times has been faith.

3. Someone should donate in my charity:

The Maleficus Needs Money to Buy Cool Things charity. :evilgrin:

4. The Carter Center

A very worthy organization that truly promotes peace, democracy and justice throughout the world.

5. BTBM Society for the Dying Green Intrepid Fund.

Just kidding...all of your causes are worthy; I say mete out a bit to each.

It's Not Just About Cows at Heifer

Across the globe, Heifer donors, volunteers, staff and project partners strive daily to build communities, distribute resources fairly, improve access to education and preserve our environment.

In Afghanistan and refugee camps in Pakistan, we’re supplying hungry people with Fayoumi chickens, which are appropriate for the arid conditions and scant resources there.

In the high Andes, we use alpacas and llamas for wool and packing power. We’ve used elephants in Thailand and camels in Tanzania.

From Chinese silkworms to Nepalese water buffalo, Heifer has learned that no resource is too small or too large to help lift families from hunger and poverty.
