The twist this year is that I’d like some advice for a good, non-political charity for my Christmas giving. I mean, obviously I’m going to give stuff to Toys for Tots.  But it’d still be nice to have a couple of new worthy causes to highlight.

So sing out in comments.

I’m very much with Erick Erickson on this one:

Charity and mercy are Christian values. I look at the deep and hostile reaction to Glenn Beck’s effort of late to provide charity to the illegal immigrants at the border and I am shaking my head at some of my fellow Christians and fellow conservatives.

I do not think the government should be helping these people stay here. I do not think the government should be bussing them to other places. I do not think we should let these people stay here. But I think while here we should, in private charity, show mercy and give comfort where we can.

…to do your shopping on Amazon.com and still get your stuff by Christmas; but, heck, most of you people are probably already on Prime anyway and as such are not particularly under the gun yet.

So, here: my charity suggestions.

• Toys for Tots. They’ll always take cash donations.
• American Red Cross. Disaster relief; enough said.
• And… I wanted to do a clean water charity here, but I’m still trying to figure out which one is the best one.  Sorry about that.

Feel free to offer suggestions.

A lot of folks running sites on the Internet rely on their Amazon affiliate sites and tip jars*. And God knows that the holidays can be stressful for them.  So don’t forget your favorite websites this Christmas season.

That goes for the lurkers, too.  The Left-sphere has to pretty much cough up a lung to get its readership to cough up a buck, the poor bastards.
