This year, we decided to do a donation drive for <a href="https://www.toysfortots.org/">Toys for Tots</a>! This top-rated charity does a lot of good for children in need during the Christmas season and offers <a href="https://www.toysfortots.org/donate/Default.aspx">multiple ways to pay</a> including PayPal, Credit Card, Crypto, and more! <a href="https://www.charitynavigator.org/ein/203021444">Here is a good, neutral review of the charity from a third party</a> if you're interested (TLDR; it's a great charity).

Of course, we wouldn't ask you to give holiday cheer without offering some of our own, so here's the deal:
