Here in America, we give simple food boxes to the poor for Christmas. Things are apparently considerately better for the less fortunate Irish in Australia, thank God. An advertisement we saw:"The Irish Australian Chamber of Commerce is selling traditional Irish Christmas Puddings with a donation from every pudding sold going towards the Australian Irish Welfare Bureau (AIWB)
"The AIWB is a non-profit voluntary organisation whose aims are to assist where possible, any person/persons in the Irish community in Victoria or any person who may be associated with the Irish community, who is in distress.
"Your company would be able to make a charitable donation to the AIWB by buying puddings for your clients.
"These are Traditional Irish Puddings made with Guinness and Irish Whiskey Butter, they come in cloth and they are boxed and personally addressed to anyone you choose."
Dear God, please have one of my dear readers send poor, destitute, 'in distress' Relax Max one of these for Christmas. Or even before. Amen."
