Deciding Christmas Charity

[FlyingJesus]

As long as it's not bloody RSPCA or something, and yeah sparkly names sound good but I do rather like the silver. One charity is a much better option in my opinion, I'd go for something medical as first choice but more than happy for it to be a children's charity if (as I expect) it proves to be the most popular

I was told to make a separate thread.

Anyway, everyone is able to nominate a Christmas Charity here.

Last year it was divided between a bunch of Charities as there didn't seem to be one clear winner. I propose that if this is similar that we try and choose just one. This way a charity gets a true sizable donation.

The way we could do that is the top 3 nominated (and supported) will be taken to a poll and whoever originally nominated them can explain why they did. Then the forum decides and the winner is the charity that gets the money.

I think it is great being able to support many charities but with the recession and financial difficulties, charities are relying greatly on larger donations.

Just an idea!

They appreciate all donations, small or large. I think last year was a great idea, people can donate to the charity they want. That way they all get a bit of money.

This year it has been decided that we will be supporting only one charity the top 3 charities emerging from that thread will go to vote.

We also won't be offering the traditional christmas vip instead we are considering offering the normal VIP colours however they will have their own "sparkles" similar to those who have achieve "Habbox god" status on the forum so it can be distinguished between normal vip and charity vip.

We also will be introducing a new target this year for the supported charity in an attempt to beat the last years donation.

This is great! I wasn't looking forward to buying the traditional christmas VIP. The normal colours are great and sparkles is just a great touch. I'll definitely be buying a lot especially if it goes to a charity that improves lives TODAY. I'd rather donate to people who need it and need to improve their lives than donate to cancer research (which is important).* flame shield*

Good decision. The Christmas VIP is ugly which has always put me off buying it. I will be sure to buy now =].

OI! Martin won't be impressed!

Anyway I'm actually not bothered about the situation for the last sentence you have mentioned, Mike. Ideally, I think 3 charities is a reasonable amount but yeah, I don't mind as we're making a difference!

And I get my VIP

I like the idea of coloured ones this year - bored of my xmas VIP. Shame it goes on until May!

I will buy anther years worth when it is released though x

Well obviously they're gonna appreciate any donations and I think no matter how little people can give to charity they should but what I mean is, a larger contribution is going to have a greater effect.

NO. XMAS VIP IS BEST COLOUR. OFFER IT AS WELL.

[Mrs.McCall]

I agree. I like the colour =[
