I LOVE the holiday season – and with ten years of working in retail under my belt, that says a lot!! Every year I get swept up in the first snowfall, the twinkle lights on neighborhood homes, the plethora of must-watch Christmas movies, and the music. (Yep, I love me some Christmas tunes.) Call me crazy, but I even enjoy the satisfaction of finding a gift I know someone will love…and I love wrapping Christmas presents. Of course, I completely blame my parents (and grandparents) for this crazy-Christmas love, as the winter holidays of my childhood were always filled with a sense of magic.
Now, I’m not saying I’m immune to the holiday stresses, or that every year is filled with picture-perfect holiday memories, but I will say that I find it darn near impossible to be a Scrooge this time of year, and for that I am incredibly thankful.
Inspired by the fantastic Gina Zeidler (of Zeidler Photography), this year I hope to spread some extra holiday cheer by participating in an animal friendly version of Cans for Comments.
Here’s how it works…
- Today through December 17th, I will donate one pound of dog or cat food for every comment left on this blog.*
- Comments can be left on any post on the blog.
- All food donations will go to The Pet Project, a Twin Cities organization dedicated to helping people keep their pets by providing pet food and basic supplies to those who are struggling.
Please help make a difference for those in need this holiday season by leaving lots of comments in the next week!
*As much as my heart wishes I could donate endless amounts of food to these pets and people in need, my pocketbook requires a ceiling. This year the maximum amount of food I will be able to donate is 100 lbs. Thank you!
here’s hoping for many fed animals!!
