Beyond it is possibly the only hope for some pretty sick kids to have a pretty nice Christmas (note to the P.C. police: I'll be calling it that, despite my Agnosticism, because I'm used to it. Deal).
Every year, Penny Arcade, that home of Tycho and Gabe in video game comicland, runs Child's Play, which gets toys and games to kids in children's hospitals. If you have ever been involved in the life of a kid that sick, you know how important charities like Child's Play are. If you haven't, I'll not try to tug at your heartstrings, I'll just say this: those kids need you. Times are tough everywhere, I know, but for sick kids that Santa skips, they're toughest.

I'm running a local event this coming week, at a gaming center, and all proceeds go to Child's Play. I spurred and encouraged the event myself, and I'll be there to guide it...after I talk it up to the entire town for the next week. This doesn't cost me a penny, just effort. It should be well worth it.

If anyone can think of any place in their town that might be inclined to do this, do it. Push it. Organize it. Publicize it. Imagine being ten with no presents, then compound it by being sick. I don't know about you, but in the face of that my schedule suddenly becomes unpacked.
