Edit to add:just received a bit more from my Santa, gift card for me to create with, and cat tax. Everything - card, donation, gift card, taco cat - is so thoughtful. What a wonderful Santa

While everyone loves gifts, I did mention to whomever would become my Santa that I would equally love a donation to one of a few charitable organizations that I believe in. Santa delivered on that front and I honestly couldn't be happier. Actual happy tears happy.

My friend and I participate in the Walk for Hunger, a 20 mile charity walk for Project Bread, a group that helps provide funds to various food groups in the Massachusetts area. The Greater Boston Food Bank is one of the providers that benefits from Project Bread's efforts. I used to live below poverty and was food insecure for a while, so these causes are near and dear to my heart now.

Anyways, Santa, many thanks from me and the people who will benefit from your gift.
