Donations to charity.

Dear editor,

This year for the first time I followed in the footsteps of a friend and sent gifts to World Vision in the names of my children and other family members. The reaction was enthusiastic; the most delighted reply was from my shop-a-holic teenage granddaughter. As she would say, go figure. My only exceptions were the magazines and books I send the youngest ones. But for me and others like me please encourage the children, especially the younger ones, to still send me their handcrafted cards, baked play-dough angels, clay pots and their pictures.
