Advent, Day 12

'Tis the season. Want some suggestions or kicks to the head?

Give. If you can. Where? BoingBoing can help you.

A few of my favorites -

Eat cookies. Help the homeless. Dancing Deer will show you how.
Not a charity, but a cool place to get stuff. And hum 'look for the union label' as you do so.
Stray Cat Alliance. My favorite, catch-spay-release group here in town.
Children of the Night. Wow. They're coming up on 30 years....

...and it could go on.

Needless to say, they don't get a lot at this time of year, but they get something every year. Remember them, if you can.

See you tomorrow!

Variation on a theme: http://www.powellsunion.com/ - if you don't have a local bookstore to support (and you should), or you're shopping for someone not local to you, 10% of all sales made through the ILWU Local 5 portal goes directly to Powell's employees through their groundbreaking profit-sharing agreement.
