We constantly drum into our kids' heads that the holidays are about spending time with loved ones, not presents. And when it comes to presents, it's better to give than to receive (like they really believe that)...
Speaking of giving during the holiday season, Cricket Media presents "Double Giving." You've heard of cleaning your oven while you sleep? Cricket is offering a chance to be charitable at no additional cost and with no added cost or effort on your part. Wait, tell me more, you must automatically interject.
Buy a subscription to one of their publications – BABY BUY (under 3), LADYBUG (ages 3-6), SPIDER (ages 6-9), or SPIDER MAGAZINE (ages 9-14) and Cricket Media will deliver a subscription to a literacy program in an underserved community.
The two selected programs are Libraries Without Borders, which supports community development in 20 countries around the world through the promotion of literacy and the Parent-Child Home Program, which provides under-resourced families with the necessary skills and tools to help their children thrive in school and in life.
Nobody loses! Everybody wins! Literacy is promoted! Society applauds! And you can sleep at night. Well, you can sleep better. Just from clicking on Double Giving (and getting your credit card ready). If you don't, well, I'm texting somebody about a lump of coal for your stocking...
