I've been thinking about letting my family know that this year I'd like them to make donations to charity instead of buying me gifts.
It's a good idea that more people should think about during the holidays.
Our family likes to use Amazon.com : Amazon Gift Central for our Wish LiIsts.
I'd like to be able to designate some charities, that I'd like donations made to, on my Amazon.com Wish List.
Isn't that a good idea? Hello Amazon.com?
Here's are some of my favorite charities for your consideration:
Oxfam
Amnesty International
Doctors without Borders
The Sharing Foundation
The Jimmy Fund
Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
Lupus Foundation of America
AIDS Action Committee of Massachusetts
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation
Lustgarten Foundation for Pancreatic Research
Creative Commons
Electronic Frontier Foundation
Institute of Contemporary Art - Boston
Photographic Resource Center at Boston University
