The holidays are a time of tradition. Whether it is roasting chestnuts over the open fire or scooping the Christmas cake into the dog bowl when nobody's looking, it's tradition that makes this time of year special.

With that in mind, we have kept up our annual tradition, forgoing sending out Christmas boxes and instead donating those dedicated funds to charity. Knowing that the gift box expenses could better benefit people in need, in recent years we have opted help out in the community by donating instead.

Also keeping with tradition, we have stayed with donating to our favourite charity: the BC Children's Hospital Foundation. BC Children's Hospital is the province's only full-service acute care hospital and serves the one million children living in BC and the Yukon. All children who are seriously ill or injured are referred to Children's Hospital and are either treated at the hospital in Vancouver or, in consultation with Children's specialists, in their home community. Last year, more than 72,000 children were treated at Children's Hospital. Funds raised by the foundation are used to support BC Children's Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children and the Child & Family Research Institute.

Tradition or no, this is an absolutely fantastic charity and one we're very proud to support. Help us raise funds to build a new Children's Hospital by donating to our funky Atomic tree, just follow the link below.
