Ace Hardware is collecting broken Christmas lights for recycling. They strip the copper out and sell it for a children's charity. Last year they made $14,000 for the charity!
I dropped a bag full of our broken twinklies, and the collection box was right up front.
Here's more information on the charity: http://www.lightsforlifeinc.com/
Very cool.

My favorite chair in the world
My mother-in-law had a chair from her step-grandfather in her house that I fell in love with the moment I saw it. A couple of years ago when she moved to an assisted living center, she gave it to us.
It's a Morris chair from the early 20th century. I love the carved lions and the claw feet. It has new upholstery, because the old was tattered, but that doesn't detract from it at all for me.
