2016 *Toys for Tots* Gingerbread House

Here's a clue: I did a Google search for "evil Calvin & Hobbes."

Even though I couldn't find a cartoon that matched my idea, I think this scenario meets the spirit of C&H. Besides, I need to add a little something-something to balance the massive amount of insulin-inducing sugar.

...and this is why I do it: *Bikes for Tykes*

With the money raised during this 5-week event, our Orlando-based LM facility purchases hundreds of bicycles to give to the US Marine Corps to donate to local older kids. That is in addition to the thousands of presents they also purchase. Orlando police generously donate a helmet for each bike purchased.

You are so generous to donate your time, $, and effort to such a worthy cause. Your heart

Marilyn, What can one say about your talent and generosity.....not enough words to express both.....

Wow, is that stunning--it may be your best GBH yet, and that's saying something!

Great cause too. We found at work, when collecting toys etc for the holidays for DYFUS, everyone picked the infants first, I always went for the older kids,
they feel it more, I think.....
