Christmas & Giving
Ok people I don't usually go on about 'Christmas Spirit' or giving not because I don't believe it them but because I am sure that you all get as fed up as I do with being hassled and ambushed by the annoying people with clipboards in town centres who want money from you.

However I just thought I'd take a moment and mention Childs Play, its a charity organisation I support that was created by the guys over at Penny Arcade. Its been going since about 2003 and the idea is a charity of gamers and other like minded folks who contribute games, consoles, toys and movies to childrens hospitals all over the world. You can either contribute cash to them directly or make a purchase off one of the wishlists that have been setup for the various hospitals.

Each year Childs Play gets bigger and reaches more hospitals around the world.

Anyway, I'm not going to talk about this too much more, I just wanted to let you know that this organisation exists and that its one I support.

Anyone who is interested in reading more can find more information here: http://www.childsplaycharity.org/about.php

It is isn't it. It's a thing that I was immediately taken with when I first heard about it. I deliberately don't go on about charities and stuff much as I'm sure people get fed up with all the guilt tripping done on TV and by people in town centres but its something I do like to bring to people's attention every now and then.
