We built a “tree” out of tinsel and decorated it with cards; each containing one Christmas wish from our adopted family. All that’s left to do now is wait – or, as is more my style, poke people daily to make sure they take cards off the tree and buy presents for those with far less than we have. I hope people will take part. I’m terrified that they won’t. I really, really want this to be fun and fruitful for our adopted family; to give them the kind of Hallmark Christmas I sneer at in accordance with the hipster creed but secretly have always wanted.
If I have ever wished I could win the lottery, it would be so I could do awesome things for others for the sheer joy of it.
christmas on acid! christmas on acid!

where is the tree? how do you take cards off of it? (im computer not good remember…)
It’s in my office :) I initiated an Adopt a Family thing for our office this year; the first one we’ve done. If all goes well, I’m hoping we can expand it to more families next year!
what a great forward thinking idea!!
I have that same thinking about winning the lottery. Not for buying things for myself, but how much I could use that money to help others.
