Happy Holidays!

I’m going to sign off for a couple of days to wrap gifts, address the rest of my Christmas cards, and make Swedish meatballs, oyster stew, and cinnamon rolls. But before I do, I want to wish each and every one of my readers a very happy holiday season, whatever they may celebrate and in whatever locale.

I also want to remind you that you still have five days to get a raffle ticket for Passports with Purpose. All proceeds benefit Heifer International, which provides families and even entire communities animals that will produce both food and income. What could be a better holiday gift than that?

Not only will you get the satisfaction that comes from giving something that is truly needed, but each $10 donation gives you the chance to win a great prize! My donation is a Flip Ultra video camera, but there are loads of other great prizes, many of which have few or no bids. The full list of prizes can be found at PassportsWithPurpose.com

I’ll see you all on the other side of Christmas! Peace.
