Each November, our family has a discard-a-thon in preparation for our annual "Holiday Decorating Day," which follows our Thanksgiving Day noon feast. Usually the second weekend in November, we go room by room gathering and listing all items to be donated to charity. We also gather items for the food bank. The following Monday, I take five minutes to record our donations in our computerized tax records, load the car, stop and buy a few NEW toys and more food for our local food bank, then make my rounds to deliver them.
