I’ll have more about holiday recountings later.

But for now, here’s a tip about how to make your donation easily to aid those affected by the tsunami in Asia.

Coinstar (those green coin counting machines at the grocery store) accept coins as donation to charities (they reduce the handling fee for charities). For tsunami relief they have both the Red Cross and UNICEF listed (and possibly might be adding more as we speak).

So, while you’re debating who to give to, or maybe you’ve already given but happen to get going by Ralph’s or Food 4 Less, consider emptying out that change jar you have at home. They even issue receipts for tax purposes.
