On a nicer note concerning the holiday (not a rant?)… if you are looking to give money to a charity and want a few ideas, navigate over to www.cardsthatgive.org and let your heart do the searching (Awww.)

CardsThatGive.org directs you to dozens of effective non-profit organizations that sell holiday cards and other greeting cards to help fund their charitable work.

And don’t worry about those scammer charities either!

Each organization that we include is a 501(c)(3) charity. In addition, if the nonprofit has been evaluated by Charity Navigator, a respected charity watchdog organization, the charity must have received at least two stars out of a possible four.
