Plain and simple, none. I don't believe in charities and I loath the holiday season.

Christmas pisses me off, due to its commercialisation, and abuse in the name of multiculturalism. As for charity, I maintain that the charity does sweet fanny adams for me, hence I give sweet fanny adams to it, with the omission of the Royal British Legion.

Well.. actually..

November is my month.

Last year I celebrated my birthday for a week in November. This year, I'm making it a 3 week celebration.

So.. GIVE ME ALL YOUR MONEY!

And plus, I'm going to see the Trans-Siberian Orchestra on the 18th, and don't they give a shit load of their profits to Toys For Tots or something?

So yeah, in a sense, I'm giving to charity.

Thank God, no major hurricane this year so I can give what I got to local charities this time. :)

Why even bother? couldn't you just spend the money on yourself?

Some people actually enjoy helping others. Strange, I know.

Because I enjoy the warm feeling I get from helping others. I know! I'm an ass. Allways thinking of myself. :p

well, You are being selfish in the sense that you do it to have a good feeling. I'm selfish in the sense that I refuse to give money to help people. If I want to enjoy the warm feeling, I'll get drunk.

I know. I know. Why did they have to make charity such a selfish act? I was only trying to help. I tried to restrain my feeling of joy by smaking my big toe with a hammer but it just dosn't work. http://www.postsmile.com/img/emotions/231.gif
