Clearly you can't tell that I'm joking. That's the trouble with emails and blogs.

Also when you adopt families you are given basic wish lists. Since they're in hiding, their needs are very base -- soap, tampons, etc.

Care so much? Send your donation to the family of four that are in hiding to my attention by December 14th for delivery on the 15th.

this is a wonderful, wonderful sentiment, but I beg you to please be practical, too. Kids in shelters can't play a Wii. It'll get stolen or broken or they'll move to a new shelter where there's no TV. How about spoiling a whole lot of kids by donating a TV and a ton of movies to a shelter in general, so everyone can watch? How about a bunch of toy store gift cards so that moms (and dads) can shop and pick out what they want to buy their kids? (that's a 2-fer -- make the adults happy *and* the kids). Gift cards to department or big box stores can help fill in the gaps of possession needed -- wrap up a cool present for an adult (bath&body works lotion) and ask the shelter to give it to the adults a week early. Your sentiment is fabulous, but I've worked with the homeless for a lot of years and it's hard to watch a kid get toys when they really want a brand-new pair of shoes that fit. It's hard to see parents want to shop for their kids but not have a dime to their name. Happy holidays and thanks for thinking of those in need!!
