Since we have the festive cheer and spirit of giving going, we would encourage you (if you haven't already) to donate some of your spare cash (any amount will help) to Lumos' latest campaign. The campaign is intended to help children with disabilities get the proper school experience. If the joy of helping is not enough, there are also prizes to win including a copy of the Silkworm signed by both Robert Galbraith and J.K. Rowling.
