Always in the Season, by Pomplamoose
mistle toe and silver snow,
and ivy growing on the walls,
i wish i could erase these dreams, i do.
but all my days are running by
in shopping malls with endless lines
i don’t know how i got here, do you?
somewhere between the catalogs
of what to get for him
somewhere amidst the china dolls
my vision starts to spin
’cause i thought christmas was supposed to be
more than lighting up the christmas tree
more than filling up our socks with toys
more than all of this tremendous noise
so all i really mean to say
is let’s not throw this time away
i’d rather just sip chocolate with you
and if you’d like to treat me nice
don’t wait for snow don’t wait for ice
i’m always in the season, are you?
somewhere on santa’s list
my name’s been crossed off with a slash
somewhere i’m gonna find a better way
to spend my cash
’cause i thought christmas was supposed to be
more than lighting up the christmas tree
more than filling up our socks with toys
more than all of this tremendous noise
i’m always in the season, are you?

Please visit our site http://www.ChildrensWishListFoundation.org
It is impossible to be immune from the news of these challenging times we live in today.So often we feel unsettled and uncertain.For many that can’t eat today and that have no home or family, this is the everyday uncertainty facing abandoned children http://childrenswishlist.wordpress.com
CHILDRENS WISH LIST FOUNDATION® goal is to provide Child Sponsorship,where we not only address the physical and educational needs of a child, but also contribute to family permanency, allowing children to stay with their families in the country in which they were born. The further we
reach the more likely it is that a child begins the long climb out of poverty toward a more hopeful future. Please help by sharing our mission with loved ones and your community. Families need your help to survive. We need your help to provide the tools, and they will be able to flourish. http://www.CWLF.org

For the past 13 years, Toys for Joy has reached out to Southeastern San Diego. Last year, the Rock Church impacted over 8,000 lives with the life-changing Gospel of Jesus Christ. We provided 100,000 articles of clothing, 7,000 toys and 4,000 bags of groceries to families in need. More than 1,200 volunteers and 14 churches partnered to reach this community for Christ.
This year’s event is going to be bigger than ever! We’re anticipating more than 15,000 people to attend. Families will receive free haircuts, health screenings and groceries. Each child will be given a toy and there will also be a community fair for adults, all with the purpose to share the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ.
How You Can Help
Volunteer
We need 1,500 volunteers.
Monetary Donations
We will need $50,000 to make this event possible.
You can also use your recyclables to bring JOY. A portion of the money raised from recycling at the Launch Pad between October 18 – December 6 will be used for Toys for Joy.
Toy and Clothing Donations
Our goal is to collect 10,000 toys and 125,000 articles of clothing.

My sister’s house burned down – here’s the link: http://tobyturner.com/blog/post/60
A guy was collecting donations for her (furniture and clothes and whatnot), and he actually kept it all for himself! Not only that, they collected the stuff that wasn’t burned from her house, and instead of giving it back to her, they ‘donated’ all of it to charity. WHAT?! Donated the stuff that belonged to a girl whose house burned down to CHARITY? Not to her? I need to make a bigger vlog about it…
Oh, also – he’s STILL collecting donations for her. Do NOT donate to the person that the news story says to donate to – the newspaper won’t remove his link.
A Fort Walton Beach jewelry store was robbed. I’ll post a link or something if one ever exists.
