Today I decided to give a gift that will live long past today, and may help more than one person in need. I made an appointment to give blood. I know that may not seem like a whole lot, but if you are ever in a serious accident, like my sister was earlier this year you would know that it literally can save a life. I know that some people are scared to give their blood or just don't like to do it. Some people never give blood because they were never asked. So I am asking you now, if you are able to, please find a donation site and give the gift of your blood. It will only take about an hour of your time & most places when you are done will give you a really cool sticker & snacks! ( Lol, trying to be a little light hearted. ) If you are un-able to donate for whatever reason, donate your time. Every bit helps. You never know the power of the gift that you give until you see the end results. I can tell you that without someone's most generous gift. I might have been an only child this Christmas. It is a bold and sobering statement all in one. Here are two of the commercials that Red Cross has put out there lately that I think are worth the time to watch. Wishing you & yours a most joyous Holiday Season... Holiday Gift Giving with Fred 2011 &

I can not give blood because I am chronically anemic, but John is O negative and also has something funky and rare that makes his blood perfect for newborns. Therefore, he gives religiously. I try to give, but get rejected every single time which totally bums me out! Thanks for giving blood!!! XOXO.....
