Bright Christmas Passes $100,000
Donations to The Tablet’s Bright Christmas Campaign this year so far have totaled $101,036. Dozens of parishes and other diocesan organizations have been helped as they assisted needy children with gifts and parties.

Occasionally I get a letter for the Readers’ Forum from Eileen Duffy Hynes, a former Brooklynite who lives in Chicago. This week, a letter came from her with a donation for The Tablet’s Bright Christmas Fund.
Readers Are Responding to Bright Christmas Campaign
One of the most satisfying aspects of The Tablet’s Bright Christmas Campaign is opening the mail and reading the personal notes that so many of our readers send with their contributions. “I’m grateful to God for the many blessings He’s bestowed on me that enable me to share with others,” writes Marie Fleuranges of Jamaica. “I hope every child and family has a truly Bright Christmas.”
Requests To Help Children Arriving at a Record Level
Not sure why, but we have been deluged with requests for help from our annual Bright Christmas campaign. Maybe the times aren’t as good as some of us think and the poor need more assistance this year than we even thought.
Bright Christmas Campaign Is Now Officially Underway
It hardly seems possible that Thanksgiving has arrived and Christmas is just around the corner. Parishes and diocesan groups are making their plans for Christmas celebrations and that, of course, means requests are arriving for help from The Tablet’s Bright Christmas Fund.
