Every year, Barnes & Noble runs a program where you can buy books for needy kids in the store. They have tags or cards that say "Boy Age 12" or "Girl Age 8" or whatever on them, and you pick one of these up, go buy an appropriate book, and the store gets the books to the kids. It's a great way to do something that actually helps someone during this time of the year.
This year She Who Must Be Obeyed and I have noticed, though, that a lot of cards are going unclaimed at our local stores. We're talking big fat stacks of unclaimed cards. I know it's just a few days before Christmas, but this is important; if you're reading this blog, you're undoubtedly extremely literate and remember just how damn important books were when you were a kid. And this program will put books in the hands of kids who wouldn't have them, otherwise.
So go here and find a nearby Barnes & Noble and go buy a book for a kid who needs one, or go here and do it online, OK?
