The Seven Days of Christmas

By Amanda Dunn


Only seven days to Christmas – or 373 if you really like to plan ahead (2012 is a Leap Year!)! Here are some suggestions for these last few hectic days in the lead-up to December 25th.

 

Dec 18: One week to go! Today’s suggestion – don’t panic! Hey, I didn’t say they would be USEFUL or SENSIBLE suggestions! Oh alright … make a donation to QL+. That’s both sensible AND useful. 

Dec 19: Finish your online shopping with Amazon – this is their last day for standard shipping. With the money you save on shipping, you can make a donation to QL+.

Dec 20: Make sure you’ve sent all your cards. Today is USPS’s last day for mailing first class cards, letters … and mailed donations to QL+!

Dec 21: Don’t forget to start defrosting your turkey, if you’re having one. Allow 1 day per five pounds of bird. Refrigerator thawing is recommended. And don’t forget to donate to QL+! Donations made before December 31, 2011 will be matched by our Chairman, Jon Monett!

Dec 22: Last chance for some Thursday night football. Indianapolis Colts play Houston Texans at home (Lucas Oil Stadium). Before the game, RUSH to dig into your POCKET and help QL+ achieve its GOAL by making us the ELIGIBLE RECEIVER of your donation!

Dec 23: Do any last-minute grocery shopping; the store will be chaos tomorrow! Try early in the morning or late at night if you have the option. Use coupons from sites like www.couponmom.com or www.smartsource.com. Then send the money you save to QL+.

Dec 24: Track Santa as he travels the globe, delivering presents. And if you haven’t got the hint yet, make a donation to QL+ via our website and it’ll still reach us in time for Christmas!

And last but not least ...

Dec 25: Relax, rest and rejoice, knowing you did everything on this list. The food's cooked, the family's at the door, the presents are under the tree - and your donation to QL+ will help someone who was injured while protecting all of these things.
