Heh. Were it anyone else, I'd scream "ARRR! Pirates don't do good

That's a pretty good idea--we had toy drives at NWUU, but never any
specific notice of particular toys. That may be because there were
so very many needy kids in Detroit, and so many churches and charities
offering aid. But I'll bet here in NJ (or even in Boston), that would
fly. It's interesting that you have a Christmas tree proper, though--
ours Church decorations were fairly festive, but noticably leaned to
Kwanzaa and Hanukkah (insert your preferred spelling here, 'natch).

For shame, you should already know the answer to that--it's LEGO,
he or she *must* have. There is no questioning! :)
