If you’re looking for the perfect gift, you could pick one of these things:
- A holiday card with a personal, meaningful note or letter included.
- Donate the money you would have spent on a present to one of the following organizations: Save the Manatee or Natural Resources Defense Council. This is my preferred present as we would really like to donate to these causes. And a present like this is way better than more “stuff.” We don’t need more stuff, we have just about all of the material possessions we would like. Making a donation to one of these places will make the world better for everyone!
- A nice picture of you and your family.
- Tie-dye t-shirts are always a welcome gift (size medium).
Thanks in advance for thinking of me! And if you’re looking for Trav’s list, go here.
Also, here’s an interesting article about the benefits of giving. And once you’ve found that perfect gift, you can wrap it creatively.
Season’s Greetings!
Please accept with no obligation, implied or implicit our best wishes for an environmentally conscious, socially responsible, low stress, non-addictive, gender neutral, celebration of the winter solstice holiday, practiced within the most enjoyable traditions of the religious persuasion of your choice, or secular practices of your choice, with respect for the religious/secular persuasions and/or traditions of others, or their choice not to practice religious or secular traditions at all …
And a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling, and medically uncomplicated recognition of the onset of the generally accepted calendar year 2009, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great, (not to imply that America is necessarily greater than any other country or is the only “AMERICA” in the western hemisphere), and without regard to the race, creed, color, age, physical ability, religious faith, choice of computer platform, or sexual preference of the wishee.
– DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTABILITY –
(By accepting this greeting, you are accepting these terms. This greeting is subject to clarification or withdrawal. It is freely transferable with no alteration to the original greeting.

This wish is warranted to perform as expected within the usual application of good tidings for a period of one year, or until the issuance of a subsequent holiday greeting, whichever comes first, and warranty is limited to replacement of this wish or issuance of a new wish at the sole discretion of the wisher.)
