Just For Fun | Cathy C. Hall Writes

Just a quick find in my inbox today from New Christian Voices…

You remember NCV, right? It’s a Christian humor site where I contribute when I’m feeling funny-ish. Lots of funny, regular columnists, lots of freelance contributors like me, lots of good, clean laughs. You can’t beat that. Unless you add a good, clean, funny contest.

It’s called the Twelve Laughs of Christmas, and it’s going on right now. All you have to do is click here, read the rules, and then come up with a great caption for that funny picture. I think the winner is chosen randomly, but you know, it’d be great if you came up with something funny.

I’d come up with something funny myself, but I’m not allowed to enter. Neither are all those other columnists and contributors. But wouldn’t you like the chance to show NCV you’re just as funny as all of us? And win great prizes, too?

I thought so. Well, c’mon then. It’ll be the Eleven Days of Christmas Laughs before you know it.

I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight. Remember that children’s poem? It just popped into my head as I type this post about What Not To Do Wednesday.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation has teamed up with the E!Networks and a slew of children’s authors/illustrators to raise money, just in time for Christmas! And all you have to do is send a (free!) e-card.

Let’s see, Eric Carle (The Very Hungry Caterpillar) designed a card, and Ian Falconer (Olivia-Oh, I love that cute little pig!) designed one, too. And Janell Cannon (Stellaluna) and Debra Frasier (On the Day You Were Born) and, and….hmmm. I know there are a few more. You’ll have to go to the E!Network site here to see the cards. And to send your free holiday greeting. Everytime you send a card, the E!Network sends a chunk ‘o change to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

It’s simple, really, to make a child’s wish come true. What a wonderful gift those children’s writers/illustrators gave! And now, you’re probably wondering where’s the What Not To Do here.

That’s simple, too. Don’t wait another minute, grasshopper. Seize the moment. Send a card and make-a-wish for a child before the next star pops up!
