Strapped down to a table, the life being liturally sucked out of him, Dave thought, 'Wouldn't it be nice if all my friends and family did this too...'
Dave was, of cause, giving blood.
For his birthday he had raised around 150 pounds for a good cause. Dave's original plan had been to ask once again for further donations for christmas. It occured to him that some people couldn't really give a lot of cash or somehow felt that cash was too impersonal. Therefore, whilst being drained of millilitre after millilitre of the red stuff, Dave decided to expand his Christmas wish list.
"Dear Santa,
I have been a good boy this year ... honest... I would therefore like for christmas, from everyone,
1. A cash donation which I will give to charity.
OR/AND
2. A blood donation to a local blood bank. (The nearest one to me being on Dale Street, near Moorfields Station, open weekdays 9:30 - 17:00 and saturday 9:45-14:00, closed sunday.)
You will of cause be paid in your usual milk and cookies.
Dave."
He wondered how many of his friends and family would be selfless enough to take part.

cant give blood, what can i do?
If you KNOW you can't give blood, it probably means you tried. Which is good enough. All you can do is your best.
(This a general answer, I know YOU tried, but if anyone else had the same question, same answer applies).
can i give u something else for xmans?
Well done Big D for sticking with your decision. You have saved us (your friends) time that we would have otherwise spent in shops looking for a perfect present for you. This way you are happy, we are happy and other people are happy (the ones who will benefit from charity or blood donation).
milk and cookies ? hehe, in some area of France, it's wine and bread/cheese... ;)
