I do volunteer gift wrapping in stores and they say I have to start Nov 25th - I will be sitting there twiddling my thumbs.

ETA - I know Hanukkah is early, but I rarely get people who want me to wrap Hanukkah gifts. Maybe I can get some Diwali work this year?

I got Christmas eve in 2 stores and Christmas eve eve in another. Hoping to break 2 thousand this year. That is helping 10 kids with disabilities or 1/5 of a rec program . My friend makes 6K each year for the organization, I am trying to catch up to her, she works like a dog.

We compete with other charity organizations for these spots. They are getting fewer each year,
