What is Toys For Tots ~ HORROR style?

 

 Cruising through cyber space at a break neck speed I stopped on a dime. I came across a heartfelt contest that was created as an effort to get people to donate toys to the Toys For Tots charity. The idea was brilliant. Get a bunch of horror authors and the like to donate a signed book or whatever into a package and one lucky Winner will get the whole kit and kaboodle! Entering is simple. Just take a photo of you holding a brand new toy (priced at $5.00 or more) standing in front of a Toys For Tots drop off. Then take a second shot of the toy in the box (so that they know it was donated). Post both pics on the Toys For Tots Horror Style profile and you're good to go.

   I didn't even have to think twice. I wanted to add to that ever growing pile of creepy goodies that someone could win. So I contacted the person in charge of the profile and said how I wanted to donate a signed copy of the limited edition of The King In Yellow that has two of my paintings gracing both the front and back covers.

  You should see the ever growing pile of things the winner can get! It just keeps getting larger and larger and larger...with any luck, there will be a LOT of children (who normally wouldn't get anything) getting something under the Christmas tree this year.

   Remember when you were a little one? Think of the way your eyes would light up when you were given a present for the holiday. That feeling of pure excitement and joy washing over you. Making you giddy with excitement. Now's your chance to give that feeling to another little one.

  Read the note and rules yourself over at the Facebook profile of Toys For Tots Horror Style and give. 

 Please donate a toy. I'm a big softie when it comes to kids and feel that every child should have a toy for Christmas. Don't you feel the same way?
