Thought I should share this: http://www.cakewrecks.blogspot.com/
For each of the twelve days leading up to Christmas (so it's already started, but the pages are still up) Cake Wrecks posts the name of a different charity and a link to a page where money can be given. The blog's owners are asking everyone who reads to contribute just one dollar each day. Thousands of people read the blog, and twelve dollars from each of them adds up to quite a lot.

Even if you can't contribute for whatever reason, I hope the knowledge this is being done brings a little cheer to your day. Happy holidays, everyone :)
