Default Charity donations instead of giving presents

Right, I hate this time of year, the commercial side of it at least.

Instead of lining the pockets of retailers, I'd rather give money to a charity instead. Does anyone know if you usually get some kind of receipt or generic card in response to random donations?

Steve.

Cool. I also noticed I can adopt an elephant (among other animals) via the WWF

My son has got my mum the Orang-a-tang from WWF, best of both worlds, a pressie and a charity donation!

I dont know, there are plenty of people who aint bothered about getting a pressie, theres nothing anybody can buy me that I want unless they're spending a couple of hundred on me which is unfair cause I wouldnt spend that on them So on Christmas day if someone said they've sponsored a goat on my behalf then fine by me, I know someone is getting some use out of it
