What is on Your Christmas Shopping List?

Gift Cow Heifer International   My Christmas shopping list is easy this year, I am buying a cow. No one in may family needs anything, not one thing. So I am buying something that someone can really use. Not only use now, but for years to come.

 I am buying a cow through Heifer International. This cow will be given to a family so that they can not only drink the milk but also sell the milk to others. My family will be helping another family that they will never
meet. If gift giving is something that is a Christmas tradition I think that it should be a gift that will make a difference.
 
My very young great niece will be the only one with a gift to hold. I am giving her a Beanie Baby Cow. I will show her the book about what Heifer International does. Knowing her she will want to send the ducks, and the
llamas, the bunnies, and the chickens too.
 
My family gives me donations to the Humane Society, the U.S.O. and Make-A Wish. I am just adding one more worthy cause, Heifer International. I won’t have to worry about the item fitting or anyone having to exchange it. My shopping will be complete in one transaction. HHCTB?
 
Will my family understand?
You betcha… after all they know me well.
Will my great niece understand?
She loves animals, I am sure that even at her young age she will understand.

    We think a cow under the Christmas tree would be a great gift.

    Thanks for your support Cindy!
