🎄 Charity, Cards and Christmas🎄
Instead of buying each other presents this year, we have chosen
to donate our gifts to our own charities. All that was needed for the blog was a photo of a christmas card, a message to the babes and the charity we are each supporting this year. All three parts came in, exactly as requested, just not necessarily at the same time!
Despite, an instruction to not send an e-card, this bit was missing for our secret santa, so dinosaur IT skills put to the test!!

Added in order of receiving.....
plus a special Christmas surprise from a dear Gelly friend.

My charity donation went to the RSPB via The Big Give which not only added my Gift Aid but also doubled the donation which I thought was brilliant and felt extremely worthwhile.

My chosen charity is Rainbows Hospice. One of Pete’s best friends died recently. Amongst many other things he was an ambassador for Rainbows, so I thought it would be a fitting choice … as well as a very worthy charity in its own right
On the eighth day of Christmas a Gelly Babe sent to us:
🎄
Maggie
I chose to send a donation to this year’s BBC Radio 4 Christmas Appeal for St Martin-in-the-Fields where the money will go to support the homeless and vulnerable.

Julia
Chosen Charity: Local foodbank.

To the lovely Gelly babes, with my grateful thanks for the love and support you’ve all demonstrated over these last years. Instead of puzzling over appropriate pressies for you, I’ve donated to Shelter and Ashgate Hospice. It was almost as much of a difficult decision as your presents, mind, hence the split! Looking forward to seeing you all soon, even if it’s just a chat on zoom. Happy Christmas to you all, with my love - Lynn
Chosen charities: Shelter and Ashgate Hospice
On the eleventh day of Christmas a Gelly Babe sent to us:
🎁
Our Secret Santa... Margaret P!

An epiphany?
Oh, for heaven's sake! .....

Cheers everyone!
