Cancelling Christmas

[kneeshooter]

Last year, as the three or four avid readers I have will remember, I cancelled Christmas and instead made some donations to various charities etc.

Of course this isn't totally altruistic - as it saves me the bother of shopping - but at the same time I think it's about giving something to worthy causes rather than embrace the commerciality of the season which I often find distasteful or even offensive.

So, in a repeat of last year... I'd like opinions on what Charities to include in the list. Last year it was:

• Amnesty International


• Dr. Hadwen Trust


• Friends of the Earth


• Medicin Sans Frontiers


• NCDL


• Sumatran Tiger Trust


• Shelter

Any comments on additions/removals before I do a poll beginning of next week?

I'll have a look at those to - thanks.

And yes - wasn't it "Cathy Come Home"?

Indeed it was.
