Thanks Sue - your input helps - I've added a note on the blog to link to the poll that does work until I can get things sorted out better. It's registered your vote anyway
Kate, this is a brilliant idea and very generous of you. I've been using Good Gifts for a while now, which is a similar thing (www.goodgifts.org) and I think doing something such as you suggest is tremendous. I've placed my vote!
What a great idea Kate - I agree it's much better to put not only Xmas card money towards something far more worthwhile but also save trees. I voted twice! Care for an orphan and water for a farm.
What a wonderful, wonderful idea and such a Kate Walker thing to do :-)
I voted for the medicine and safe water. I know how important medicine is (I wouldn't be alive without it) but it's useless without clean water. But there were so many options that any of them would really be fine by me :-)
This is a great idea Kate! What a difficult choice. I finally vote for the medicines for a village, but any of the choices would be very helpful and generous.

I struggled with my poll too, Kate. It worked in the end, but honestly I don't know how.
I'm still mulling the Oxfam catalogue to see where my CC money goes this year. Trees, definitely. I'm tempted by the condoms...

Hi Kate, I love your idea for christmas but my it wouldn't let me post answer. I think that you should . I'm from KY and I think that you should give to a shelter because I had a friends who end up there from abuse. I just stop by from RJ.

I chose the shelter because I have a friend who had to use it. I from KY and stop by from Delurking days.

Thank you all for voting - I'm glad you think this is worth doing. I have to admit it gives me a lot more personal satisfaction than sending cards that will be in the bin or (hopefully) being recycled within a month after I've sent them
I love the idea of being able to put the oney to really good use
What a lovely idea Kate! I voted for caring for an orphan, but I used the other poll because the one on the blog didn't work.

Well, as a health worker myself, guess which one I voted for! lol
