Operation Santa

Posted in Holidays, Other, tagged , , , , , on December 4, 2024| Leave a Comment »

Ever wished you were Santa Claus? Good news, now you can be his avatar here on Earth! Through the magic of the internet and the USPS (my favorite national mail system), people everywhere have a chance to adopt kids’ letters and donate presents. If that sounds like something that might interest you, check it out:

And Thank You!

Happy American Thanksgiving, everyone!

Yes, the history of this holiday is… deeply complicated, but I love that for me here and now, it’s about friends and family and food. 

Here’s hoping you have a wonderful day, and if you need something fun and uplifting to read while digesting Grandma’s special stuffing, check this out:

Underrated ways to change the world – by Adam Mastroianni

A lot of people would like to make the world better, but they don’t know how. This is a great tragedy.

…

I don’t know all the ways to get our good intentions unblocked. That’s why, whenever I spot someone changing the world via a righteous road less taken, I write it down on a little list. I glance at that list from time to time as a way of expanding my imagination, and now I’m sharing it in the hopes that it’ll do the same for you.

Yes, please. And thank you!
