MAY I SUGGEST?

Skip it...
The stores and the whores,
the signs and the whines,
the lights and the fights,
the oh so commercial
spirit reversal

the junk and the crap,
the funk and the wrap,
the loot and the stuff,
the bows and the fluff

Just a note:

"________ has made a charitable donation
in your name to ______________"

www.redcross.org
www.donorschoose.org
www.petfinder.org
www.chihuahuarescue.com
www.billfoundation.org
(or any other animal rescue)
www.hrc.org
www.apla.org
www.doctorswithoutborders.org
www.angelfood.org
www.mowaa.org (Meals On Wheels)
etc.
etc.
etc.
Unicef. Salvation Army, all of the cancer/illness charities...
whatever your flavor,
any other nonprofit in your area
or abroad that HELPS people or animals and relies
solely on donations to do good things.

THAT is the spirit of giving.
And your gift?
if they don't "get" it...
THEY JUST DON'T GET "IT".
