Am I the only one that snaps into grinch mode as soon as I hear/see ads soliciting donations for the needy? It's not that I don't want to help others this holiday season, I consider myself a generous and compassionate person. I just feel overwhelmed by all of my "options" for generous and philanthropic giving. Our society seems chock full of needy people. This year I plan on helping those who are truly in need, as for the unmotivated- try standing in the cold and ringing your own dang bell.
