Wish I could be in Portland doing last minute Christmas shopping, but alas, the highway hasn't been cleared out here since the storm started 
But, just in case YOU are de-snowed enough to venture out, I thought some of you might use this heads up I just got online:
12/24: Free Coffee and Tea at Peet’s Today
Posted: 24 Dec 2008 12:28 AM CST[/b]On December 24, Peet’s Coffee will be giving away complimentary cups of brewed coffee and tea.
In addition to passing out drinks, Peet’s employees will give people the opportunity to donate to a local charity. Each store has chosen a different charity, and Peet’s will match up to $1,000 in donations per store. Participating locations in the Portland Metro area, and the charities they have chosen, are:
Oregon locations:
NE Broadway (1441 NE Broadway): Street Roots
Downtown Portland (508 SW Broadway): Cascadia Health Center
Hawthorne (3646 SE Hawthorne Blvd): Alternative Services Oregon, Inc.
Brewery Blocks (1114 NW Couch St): Make-A-Wish Foundation of Oregon
Lake Oswego (345 First St, Ste #111): Children’s Center of Clackamas County
Happy Valley (15918 SE Happy Valley Town Cnt): Multiple Sclerosis Society of Portland
Hillsboro (19250 NW Cornell Rd): Hillsboro Fire Fighters Random Acts
Bridgeport Village (Building G, 7471 SW Bridgeport Rd): Sexual Abuse Resource Center (SARC)[/b]
If you are -uh----as thrifty---as I am forced to be these days, you might want to check out the Portland blog this came from called "Around The Sun.com" I have gotten a lot of cool freebies from it. There are a few others I could also hook you up with if you are interested in that kind of thing.
Merry Christmas !!!! God's sweetest and kindest blessings to you all ;D
