The satisfaction of knowing that hundreds of local children were able to receive toys for Christmas thanks to the wonderful people who supported and contributed to my toy drive is one of my best presents ever.

Good deal. Have you posted other details about this here before?
Thank you Randy. I did post a thread about the toy drive at the beginning of December.

The toy drive was a huge success and people are looking forward to doing it again next year. The Burbank Fire Dept. told me they were expecting half as many donations this year but twice as many requests for toys.
We did make a difference. I had one couple donate 3 new youth bicycles. My client told me he remembered the feeling of getting his first bicycle for Christmas and wanted some kids to experience that same joy. Some of my celebrity friends really stepped up and were very generous including my favorite stewardess who you all know as the one who re-inflates BDK's avatar.
In the photo below of the firemen and our horses you can see the collection box. We had three boxes stuffed and enough more toys to probably fill a half dozen more. We sent the fire dept. stakebed truck out of there half loaded.
