One of my favorite blogs is www.thebloggess.com. Her name is Jenny and she is hysterical.
She announced on her blog last week that she, her husband and daughter had bought 20 gift cards for $30 each from Amazon.com and she offered them her readers who were having hard times so they could buy a little Christmas for their kids. All they had to do was ask. And her response was overwhelming. So many requests from people having hard times, requests for their friends, kids, parents, neighbors. More than 20, for sure. Then another amazing thing happened. Someone offered gift card 21. Then 22. As of today, she has 500 requests and 500 gift cards. Yep, everyone is matched. Amazing story about how many people are affected by what's going on in our economy and amazing story about what Christmas should be about and the generosity of the human spirit.
Have I said amazing? Almost makes me take back my bah humbug.
