As you all should have figured out by now, while I am what I would consider a pretty low maintenance friend and family member, I can be one of the toughest people to shop for when it comes to getting gifts.
This year I have decided to challenge you all (even if you aren't someone who would have normally bought me a gift) to donate to your favorite charity this holiday season or get a gift for a Holiday Angel, or adopt a family in your office or with your own family.
For those of you that would normally get me a Christmas gift, I ask that you take on this task in lieu of presents for me.
Once you have completed this mission, I would love hear about what you did. Please post on the website about whose holiday season you made brighter. Or what it felt like to give to those in need.
So, in keeping with the tradition of making a Christmas wish list, I am listing a few charities that I wish would get some support this holiday season.
Tamieka's Christmas Wish List
for donations of time or money or gifts to the following groups:
Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Tucson, AZ
Christmas Angel Tree found at most local malls
Serve Christmas Dinner at your local soup kitchen
Donate your old coats and blankets to the homeless
Genesis Youth Center- short-term 12 bed facility for children who have endured the negative effects of violence, neglect or sexual abuse. P.O. Box 546, 535 Hornor Ave, Clarksburg, WV 26302
Please feel free to post names of groups and charities that you would like to see be helped by some of the people that visit my site.
And dont forget to tell us who you helped this holiday season.
Happy Holidays!
Dr. T

My gifts to you are unwrapping as we speak and are as follows (to the tune of the 12 days of Christmas):
* a banquet table for seniors' luncheon Christmas glee
* two unwrapped toys
* three volunteer hours (for grocery distribution)
* four nonprofit wreaths purchased and then distributed
* five is a donation to the Minority Aids Project
Well, I hope you enjoy your gifts....there are additional gifts to come and a Happy Holiday to youuuuuu!
Love Aunt Viv
I have donated a table at an Christmas
Great start to the list. Thanks Aunt Viv!
I have decided to Adopt-a-Soldier for the holidays and the time that he or she will be over seas. I am supposed to send a general letter or care package and then I will get a reply (hopefully) from the person that receives my package.
Stay tuned for more...
