I am a bit traditional. Post Thanksgiving we decorate for Christmas and start playing Christmas music. My annual George Michael mourning period begins at this time also. This year - however - I think I’ll put out a few decorations just a little early cause We Need A Little Christmas …

This is what I try to always tell people: food banks can do way more with your money than you can, due to bulk buying deals. And they can do way, way more with your money than with the canned goods you didn’t want to eat
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

While they’re still screwing about with SNAP, it’s a good idea to donate to pet shelters, too.
If you dare show up with “poor people shouldn’t have pets”, I will tear such a new one it generates a black hole.

I am a vegetarian - so I don’t buy a lot of meat. I have been cooking lasagnas, however, and I am shocked at the price of decent quality ground beef. I’m genuinely not trying to make a political statement here (when I do it’s obvious). I’m sure there are lots of causes - but it was sticker shock.
