You thought I was kidding about those last 23 hours, didn't you?

Herald-Standard readers contributed $23,665 to the 2008 Give-A-Christmas campaign in the most recent donations, pushing the total to $46,743 - well beyond the $40,000 goal.
Most of the new donations came from the students, teachers and parents of the Albert Gallatin School District, who raised $19,000 this year through the efforts of Albert Gallatin Education Association.
"That is so fantastic!" said Sparkle. "The generosity of Herald-Standard readers is amazing. Thank you for all your gifts. We appreciate them all. But don't forget that we still have a few hours left in the campaign. The deadline is noon today so if you want to make a donation, bring it to the Herald-Standard office on East Church Street now."
Ah, the magic of Christmas!
