I also wonder if those friends who I have become close to will forgive me for not sending Christmas cards, etc. I can't afford it this year and it isn't 'in me' to go through the process.

I wonder why Toys for Tots in this state is struggling this year. My office is taking donations from employees. Toys for Tots is having to turn families away this year for lack of donations.

I hope this isn't considered against the terms of service to post this...
