Wowzers!  Holy Snikies!

My 11th Christmas card came in the mail today from the Turkeys at Gobble Hollow (Forestburg, TX), and it was attached to this very large red box.

After removing the red packaging, I found it decorated with pictures from the BON – even pics of DogGeeding and OtherDogGeeding.

Upon opening the box, we found it was very carefully packaged and there were items for me, WifeGeeding, and the doggies.

It turns out that DogGeeding got a little treat that we made sure he shared with OtherDogGeeding.  By the way, DogGeeding is almost fully recovered from his surgery.

It turns out that WifeGeeding received a very special oriental egg.

And I received two very special ornaments that immediately were placed on our tree.

 Thank you Turkeys at Gobble Hollow for the card, gifts  and being loyal BON readers!

So that’s five cards from Texas, two cards from NY, and one from North Carolina, New York, Indiana, Illinois, and Canada.  

With a total of 11 cards, that’s $11 I’ll donate to help fight lupus.

A small recap of the experiment of me trying to see if any of you are willing to send me a Christmas card:

Option 1:  You can make a direct donation to the Lupus Research Institute in memory of Kim Geeding.  Have the acknowledgement sent to my address, and I’ll consider that my Christmas card.  I’ve done some research, and out of all the lupus organizations I feel most comfortable with the Lupus Research Institute came out on top.

Option 2:  If you just want to send a card and no money, then I will total up all the cards received before Dec 25, and for each card donate a dollar (up to $50) to the Lupus Research Institute.  If you include any money, I’ll make sure to donate the funds directly to the Lupus Research Institute. 

Send all cards to

Keith “BagOfNothing” Geeding
421 Vista Noche Dr
Lewisville, TX 75067-8345

Please be sure to include the “BagOfNothing” in the name so I know the card comes from a reader and not the dentist or plumber.
