Well, I just did all my holiday shopping in one fell swoop, from my computer. :) I made my holiday gift list, including how much I'd like to spend for each person. Then I added that up, and sent it all to the American Cancer Society (online). I did it in two separate transactions, one using the remainder of my balance on the Mazda AmEx debit card, and the other a regular credit card.
Many of my friends and family have been affected by cancer in the last year or two, and I just thought this would be a good way to help out, and avoid the hustle-n-bustle and stress associated with holiday shopping. Now I'll be sending cards letting the folks know that they inspired me to do this.
So, if any of YOU were about to get me a gift... just send some money to your favorite charity instead. :p
Happy Holidays!
