Christmas is coming.  I’ve not done a thing. Nothing, Nada, Zip.

So, instead of rushing out and buying random stuffs for people and then loosing track of everything, I thought I would start a new linky!

Avery is not here, and while I will still buy him presents this year, I won’t be able to give him anything, watch him eat wrapping paper, and be fascinated by the tinsel.  But there are others out there who are on this earth, who may not be able to afford tinsel or wrapping paper, or are struggling with the grief that comes with the first christmas with out their babe, or the tenth christmas without their child…

So I am doing a call to arms.  I am asking all of my readers to do something for their global community.

I invite everyone to steal use this badge on their website and write about a gift they bought in memory of Avery.  It could be a gift for your local Wishing Tree, Giving Tree, Christmas Tree (you know the ones!), or it could be donating a bear pack at Bears of Hope in Avery’s name, buying hampers from Charity Hampers or cards from Christmas Cards 4 Charity  with proceeds going to Sids and Kids NSW. You could donate to Little Angel Memory Boxes or to your local NICU.  Or you could donate to one of my favourite places – Heartfelt.

All of these places have helped my family in the last 5 months. They have all helped me process Avery’s death, and helped rebuild my family.  We are not whole, just different now.

So I invite you all to spend little or spend big, remember my family and Avery this Christmas, and spread a little Avery Magic far and wide this festive season.  Then if you are a blogger, take a photo of your gift, or just talk about the charity, or even just quietly slip the link in your side bar… but come back and link up so we can share the magic around.  And if you are not a blogger, drop a comment to let me know…

Spread a little Avery Magic – Christmas style!
