So, I just found out that Nathan Bransford is donating by the pound, er, comment, to Heifer International on his blog. And I figured, what the heck–why not spread the holiday beef, um, cheer, and play along? (Seriously–I’m not touching that last sentence with a ten-foot candy cane. My fellow Purgy AWers will know what I mean when I say GIANT PORK CHOP).

Here’s how it works: for every comment I receive between now and midnight tonight December 31st, Pacific time, I’ll donate $1 to Heifer International. We’ll cap it at 200 comments–basically because I know that ginormic holiday Visa bill is already out there somewhere , just biding it’s time before swooping down and giving me a coronary. But that’s another depressingly morbid thought topic. Oh, and also, because that’s what Amanda did, the cool OPWFTer who clued me in to this great idea.

I mean, seriously, wouldn’t it be cool to say you’ve given someone a cow for Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Christmukkah? Even if it’s only like, half a leg? (I know, I know–morbid again. Sorry.)

So, in the comments section, just type your name, city/state you’re from, and tell me either your favorite holiday yummy OR what you’d name one of Santa’s reindeer, if given the chance.

Thanks for stopping by!
