The Gift of Giving

So, it's Christmas Eve, and if you're celebrating tomorrow, you've likely got all your gifts wrapped up and ready to go. But if you've forgotten someone, or you just feel like adding a extra little something, here's a thought: How about donating (money or time) to a cause you admire in someone's name?



Then just write out a card to that person, telling them which organization is getting some love in their honor. Not sure where to donate? Luckily, John and Hank Green, the vlogbrothers, have given us lots of choices with their Project For Awesome, where lots of vloggers submitted YouTube videos about their favorite charities. So go to YouTube, search "project for awesome," and find out about tons of amazing options for this perfect last-minute gift.

Seriously, it's a heartwarmer. Happy Holidays!

Great post. My mom and I are pooling any extra money from the holidays and donating it to charity. We also did 4 toys for tots.
It feels great to give someone a smile. =D
