Go dance naked in the snow or something to celebrate!

My sister and I called a moratorium on gift giving several years ago. We both have a lot more “stuff” than we really need. And I have a nasty habit of just getting things that I want when I want it, especially since I don’t have to save some for Martin to buy for me.
It’s been great. But, that doesn’t prevent me from thinking, “oh, this would be really great for…” and get overly optimistic.
Last week, I had this great idea of spinning a little something, knit up a few “quick” little items, and have them ready as Christmas presents. Oh, and perhaps knit a few of mini-Christmas stockings and fill it will small stocking stuffers for the ladies at card night. After all, if I didn’t hit the malls and buy anything (use stash only), it doesn’t count, does it?
Thankfully, sanity hit before I got sucked into that rabbit hole of time pressure. It takes the fun out of it. Before you know it, you resent the giftee before you finish your project.
So, I’m saying “No!” to the insanity of handmade Christmas/Hanukkah presents.
I received the following email from a friend today:
The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on their site daily to meet their quota of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged woman. It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on ‘donating a mammogram’ for free (pink window in the middle).
This doesn’t cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising. Here’s the web site!
This is so easy and a no-brainer. We are so fortunate to have access to amazing health care. This helps those less fortunate to benefit from our “quick click.”
I have watch several of my friends go through breast cancer. I don’t wish this on anyone. Early detection really helps. Please take a moment and click now. For the rest of this year, I will have a button at the top of my sidebar. After that, you can find it in my links section.
