Christmas may have come and gone, but by lights are still up and I’m still in the holiday spirit like many of you are. That’s why I wanted to take a minute and talk about the heroes at home Wish Registry established by Sears. Your donation helps Sears provide military families with gift cards that will help them over the holidays.

One hero is hoping to be able to get a video camera for his family so he can watch the first moments of his little boy from afar. That’s just one of the hero stories and there’s a lot more of them. Even though the contribution is not tax-deductible, just the thought of a new father stationed far away from home getting to see his new baby boy walking for the first time makes me want to give. Giving is pretty easily done through the site. You just enter the amount you want to donate, confirm it, and check out. Many other wishes often include children’s shoes and pajamas. Imagine your donation helping to provide a child with some much-needed new shoes.

Another way to give is with badges to show your support. They offer a few choices of badges to display on popular sites like MySpace and Facebook. If you have a profile or your own blog, you can show additional support by just adding a badge.

If you haven’t yet experienced the joy of giving to those in need this holiday season, this is a great way to do it.
