How many of you buy or know someone who buys an extra Christmas present for charities collecting at Christmas? I was sitting watching a charity at a collection point today and they got maybe 7 or 8 gifts donated in about 45 minutes, that's nothing when you consider maybe 150 people passed them by coming in and out of the shopping centre.
I bought a couple of little things like teddy bears and selection boxes, none of which cost very much and it wasn't as if they had to be gift-wrapped or anything. I know a lot of people are cynical these days of giving money to charities, but i just can't understand why most people won't fork out a couple of quid to buy an extra little present to donate when they are spending hundreds on their own families and friends who will probably appreciate the gift far less.
So please guys and gals, when you're out doing your Christmas shopping and if you see a collection point for gift donating, just buy something, anything at all and donate it. It will mean virtually nothing out of your own pocket, but could mean the world to someone else.
