In addition to a rash of people leaving presents and thank you cards on the doorsteps of fellow freecyclers, Leslie, a woman on my local freecycle group, has taken Christmas spirit one step further:
"Hope you all had a Merry Christmas. If you didn't get all the chocolate you wanted in your stocking, I have two Trader Joe's Milk Chocolate bars imported from Belgium.
Why Day 7?
Freecycle has been very helpful and generous to me over the years, so in the spirit of the season I am going around my house to find little presents that might brighten your day and give me the joy of giving it away...I will be offering 12 days of Christmas."
Wow! What a great idea. I wish I had thought of this!
I wrote Leslie a fan letter:
"Leslie-
I'd just like to say you are awesome! What a great idea to pass along to other freecyclers! Thanks! I think I'm going to have to steal this one for next year."
She wrote me back:
"Yes, please feel free to freecycle the idea!! Spread the love...a ripple effect is awesome!
Leslie"
Here I am, spreading the love.

So you've finished your good deed year. . . .
Will you now transform back into your former back-biting, dog-eat-dog, selfish ways?
Just askin'.

So what happens to the experiment at the end of one year? Was it a success? What will become of the blog? I'm looking for the nice Hollywood ending....
