Go Red This Black Friday!

Another Thanksgiving. Another dining table filled with loved ones and favorite family recipes. Another football game. Another family sweater photograph. Another Black Friday to stand in line hour after hour.

Which one of these things doesn't belong?

There's a way to give this holiday season that doesn't require a trip to the mall or an hour long wait in line. It's the American Red Cross Holiday Giving Catalog and it's the perfect way to honor your friends and family with gifts that really matter.

Is you father a veteran? Consider ditching that Blu-Ray player for meaningful gift in his name: a calling card for members of our Armed Forces who are overseas, for example.

Do you have a family member who ever received aid from the Red Cross after a storm? Then consider honoring them with a gift that sponsors an Emergency Response Vehicle.

Have a kid in med school? Consider a nod to their future career by vaccinating children overseas in their name.

Yeah, iPods, Play Stations and Kindles are cool but consider giving a gift that really matters this holiday season.
