CHRISTMAS: BOOTH'S ARMY WILL HAVE THEIR KETTLES ...

... out again, only not at a few places owned by modern day Scrooges. This is the beginning of the Army's 2005 Christmas campaign (which raises close to $100 million each year).
Army's Red Kettle
The Salvation Army officially kicked off its annual red kettle campaign on Thanksgiving Day with the Dallas Cowboys and 66 million football fans and television viewers.

So let me challenge you; if you gave ten dollars to a red kettle last year, give twenty this Christmas. What ever you gave last year, double it! Then return here. and let me know you did in the comments.
Before the national kick-off, Wal-Mart and SAM's CLUB stores invited the red kettle bell ringers one week earlier to double their efforts in collecting funds this holiday season. [...]

The red kettle campaign helps more than 34 million Americans recovering from personal disasters each Christmas season. Last year, a record-breaking $102 million was raised, benefiting people in 5,000 communities.
The Salvation Army is one of the best places to put benevolence dollar.
