In a post not too long ago I mentioned that for this Christmas we are doing a secret Santa exchange but the "gift" will be a charitable donation to an organization that the gift recipient would like and support.I just came across a website that is dedicated specifically to this idea.
It's called Redefine Christmas...
Redefine Christmas is neither commercial venture, nor money-maker. It's simply a charitable idea, shared by many, that our holiday gift giving could be more meaningful and do more good. In addition to the gifts we enjoy shopping for and giving, we're often compelled to give gifts that aren't so meaningful. Imagine if we replaced those gifts by giving others donations to their favorite charities. And we just request that others do the same for us.
A simple idea that can mean a lot, especially during tough economic times like we are in now.
