Hey Kids,
It’s Christmas 2010 and time to comment on my blog post again. Isn’t THAT exciting?

Dear Shahbaz,
I received your email and the comment here on my blog post about wanting a Christmas tree sent to Pakitan, which I’m thinking is probably Pakistan.

Please find my response here:

I’m kind of enjoying having a blog post that people hate me for. I don’t get much hate mail on my blog, it’s kind of exciting. I feel so controversial and timely….

AND, to boot, I’ve got a big package sitting here that I get to open Christmas Day – from the same person who sent the donation in my name last year. They sent it to me all the way here in China. How cool is that? So for the kids reading who want the morale of the story, here it is: I WIN!

Going to tell you a little secret – I am the person who made the donation in Conrad’s name, and I laughed like a hyena when I read
his “Christmas Donations” post. Why? Because Conrad loves to
initiate conversation between people, and he enjoys it even more
if there’s an opportunity to inject a little humor in the process.

Conrad will probably send me a crate of mouldy fortune cookies for revealing this, but,(whispering) he out-donates us all.
Mr. Grinch is a façade!

Someone contacted me and asked why I don’t donate to charities. I DO, my blog wasn’t bagging on people who donate to charities, because that’s a great thing. My blog post was bagging on people that donate it to charities and then say to other people “there’s your gift”.

Why don’t you send a dog to each person who “donates” in your name? Go to the local shelter, pick out an ugly mutt, send it to your friend with a card that says “Merry Christmas, and thank you for saving an animal.”

Donate the money to me, and send a card to the family in the third world country. It will make them happy, and it will make me happy. It’s a win-win.

Yeah, I’m just gonna say that no matter what happens from here, you’ve already lost. Sorry, it’s cool that you’re sharing your honest feelings and all, but way to crap all over the real Spirit of Christmas.
Ironically, I actually found this blog post by Googling donation sites. This year, I’m planning on giving two chickens and a goat to a family in a third world country in my sister’s family’s name, as opposed to the stuffed Mickey dolls I’d originally planned on wrapping for my nieces. Instead of sending you ten bucks, I add another duck the overseas gift. 😉
