People just seem to be more into "giving" at this time of year. They are more generous with charitable organizations in December than any other time of the year. So the charities have to take advantage of that largess. And I don't begrudge them whatever means they need to raise funds for a good cause. I'd put "being asked for donations to charity" about 975th on my list of things that annoy me about the Christmas season.
The constant BUY, BUY, BUY!!!! begging by the STORES is far more annoying in my book. I wish the season was more about giving to the less fortunate rather than giving to ourselves and our immediate family.
