Make a child's Christmas

If you have a shoe box and a few pennies to spare, please check out http://www.samaritanspurse.uk.com/occ/_video_2007.asp

Did you know that in Romania, children cannot attend school until they can provide their own books and pencils? Buying a few pads and a pencil case full of cheap pencils and and a sharpner will allow a child to have an education. Imagine being able to do that for someone. Even if you are a bah humbug person, you can't deny the magicial feeling when a child opens a gift and their face lights up. Imagine it on a child with hardly anything, even basics like food and clean water.

Serious bit over. Shall now go back to bottom jokes.

PS I am aware I said "Child's", Aaron!!!

Which is correct.

HOWEVER, "christmas" should be capitalised, not "Child's".

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH!

Do you think they want to go to school?

I know I never wanted to.

And wouldn't shoes be better in a shoe box.

Doesn't charity kind of go against the basic principles of piracy?

Hip hip for RubyMae - you are soft and warm and lovely (I imagine so, I hasten to add.)

If I was asked who'd remind us to remember the less fortunate this Christmas, I'd have put TGS up at the top of the list.

The Slaggs' hats are off to you, ma'am, and I'll be donating.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! SLAGGY A!!!!

I have three advent calenders by the way.....THREE! To be fair only two have choccies and the other which is comming in the post has lego.

But.....ahem.......another thing you can do is donate toys at your local hospital for the children there over crimbo and old blankets and food at your local animal shelter.

( Y ) <----BUM!

Lego! (Notice the capital? )

Lego rules. (Not quite as much as Hornby though.)

I also have a M&S fairy one and a lindt one. Mmmmmmmmmm. Gonna get me a advent candle too.

I got an advent candle today. Will probably just get the one calendar. Dairy Milk. Obviously.

How much will it cost to send Ruby to school

The 'School for scandal' is the school I would like to have attended!

Any form of charity is a damn good thing.
Well done Ruby.

It soooooooooooooo has to be done. Also I am sure the BSG will be dandy O about it.
