Christmas is coming!!

If you are stuck for ideas for people's Christmas presents, then here is a great idea for you: make a charity donation on someone's behalf. For as little as £6, you can buy 100 school dinners through Oxfam. There is a whole range of similarly worthy presents available through http://www.oxfamunwrapped.com/.

Our "Secret Santa" at work lets us spend up to £5. Although I don't agree with requesting presents, it seems as though we are being encouraged to do so. So I have requested £5 worth of raffle tickets in support of the British Epilepsy Association: http://www.epilepsy.org.uk/involved/raffle.html.

Obviously, you may think I am being preachy and over-worthy, but if you are stuck for ideas, I think it is a great idea. It is awful that we live in a world with so much material wealth, which is so appalingly distributed. Please - just think about it.
