Holiday Break

Hello all,

I'm giving myself my annual present of two weeks off from blogging to focus on my eating, drinking and making merry.  I'll be back in January.  See you in 2011!

In the meantime, here's a special seasonal post for you all. Since this is the "season of giving", you may be interested in this list of secular charities. These organizations do great work without any proselytizing. I encourage you to support them.

UNICEF

Oxfam International

Doctors Without Borders

Kiva - Loans that change lives

The Nature Conservancy - Protecting Nature, Preserving Life

Amnesty International | Working to Protect Human Rights

Bernadinism

Unusual and creative work by photographer Alva Bernadine; all featured on one of the most spectacularly weird websites I've seen. (And I've seen a lot!)
