Christmas Shopping Follow-Up

To follow-up on my previous discussion of Christmas gifts and charities, I sent this to potential gift-givers last night:

As some of you know, I’ve been doing some thinking recently about Christmas gifts. The truth is, I’ve got everything I need. Furthermore, I can’t speak for everyone, but I find Christmas shopping a pretty heinous experience.

So, this year, here’s what I propose: If you haven’t already bought me a Christmas present, please take whatever money you were going to spend on me and donate it to my charity of choice, the David Suzuki Foundation. If nobody minds, I’d like to do likewise for the charity of your choice. Please let me know what that charity is, and I’ll start writing cheques. Merry Christmas!
