A different sort of Christmas

As the over-eating and creditcard-spending season... I mean Christmas season begins (Yes, the shops say its Christmas, so I am not too early!), its time to start thinking what gifts are going to be given this year. Instead of the extra shirts, jewellery and CDs, how about buying or requesting these sorts of pressies:

• Adopting an endangered animal for a year, water saving shower heads, etc. - WWF
• Fairtrade tea, coffee, hot chocolate, spices, toys, etc. - Oxfam
• goats, toilets, school supplies, etc. for poor communities - TEAR
• crop pack, cataract operation, etc. for poor communities - Baptist World Aid Australia

If people have other organisations that do unreal & different gifts, let me know!
