It's a bit presumptuous to think that someone who reads my blog would get me a gift this Christmas. Optimistic, yet presumptuous. Anyway, the point is, that I really don't want anything for myself (except for that Tea, mom. Please go ahead and send me the Celestial Seasonings Throat Soothers Tea).

If you have to spend some money, please spend it on someone who needs it a lot more than me. My favorite organization at the moment is the Dalit Freedom Network. DFN is about helping provide basic necessities and opportunities for people on the lowest rung of the Hindu Caste system in India-the Dalits (AKA the Untouchables).

You can give money to start a bicycle rickshaw business for a Dalit or you can just make a donation and let them spend the money where there's the greatest need. See the catalog here.

In the meantime, check out this video.

Make a difference this year. Somewhere.
