The next year I wrapped a note around them that said, "Fleece Navidad!" and gave them to neighbors. The only bad thing was I had to store bulky blankets for a year but everyone loved them. (Well, they seemed to anyway.) And this year I've already seen inexpensive blankets BEFORE Christmas. Lucky!<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words about "Christmas Oranges" in another blog. That was very nice of you!<br /><br />Happy week!<br />LindaLindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774699883197729331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294986155177272443.post-87174846842952219072010-12-13T22:09:04.703-08:002010-12-13T22:09:04.703-08:00Renae, the neighborhood across the street does a s...Renae, the neighborhood across the street does a similar thing except they bring canned goods for the food bank.

Each neighbor was supposed to donate the amount they would have spent on neighbors in a sealed envelope. The donations went to the local food pantry.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625491941413125086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2294986155177272443.post-60774067556284493352010-12-13T20:03:54.665-08:002010-12-13T20:03:54.665-08:00Thank you for these ideas.
