Ty Beanie Babies Merry Kiss-mas the Christmas Bears
Ho! Ho! Ho! It’s time for me to give you your long-promised Christmas gift.It’s a…

I hope you like it!

Ok, the traffic didn’t quite reach 100 000 page views. Still, so many people came every day and so many people gave their link love and supported the project that I didn’t want to scrooge out (plus, whole you’re reading this I am actually in Austria away from my desk so I wanted to shop early). So, just leave me a comment some time between now and the new year and we’re even.

You know, giving is actually pretty selfish? The Toronto Star ran an article about the tradition of charitable gifts and quoted a lawyer who said he has read studies “that show donating to charity can actually be good for your health, since the feeling that comes with giving releases endorphins, which help with healing.” And, you know I think we should all be feeling quite well today.
Merry Christmas.

  3. [...] I love it when friends are successful. Kate over at Babylune has two more ticks on her scorecard.  Before Christmas, she announced that she would buy a family in a developing country some Christmas gift to help them out, if only we would visit her page and get the stats up. Well, she bought a sheep, with its wool and milk to keep everyone warm and fed. [...]

  4. [...] Okay, so not the whole farm, but she did buy a sheep!!! Remember that contest that she was running that I mentioned here? She didn’t actually hit the “sheep” mark, but she went and bought it anyway. Cool, right? I thought so. And that gift of hers will give a family the hope and ability to provide for their family and grow their dreams. What a fantastic gift. Well done, friend! [...]

  5. [...] If there is one thing I’ve learned is that readers of this site love to do good. [...]
