If you agree with this, please K & R. Thank you.
My family opted to change our holiday tradition.
Since Republicans have nearly destroyed our country, many people are suffering like never before. There's more hunger everywhere in the U.S., sick people without health care, living in their car, people who have lost it all, their jobs, their homes or rentals, their everything.
As a result, my nephew decided it would be a wonderful idea to do this:
With the exception of toys for the kids (kids expect to get toys of course!), our gifts to one another will consist of the giver donating to a charity of the receiver's choice. Does that make any sense at all? For example, I researched charities and decided I like the mission of Meals on Wheels. Okay, so everyone in my family who was going to give a gifts, will instead give that $$ to that charity, and those donations will be my gifts.
If anyone is interested in doing that, I noticed that the Better Business Bureau has a list of accredited charities. Here's the link. It's towards the bottom of the page in a blue square titled "Resource Library" then "BBB Accredited Charity Directory"
