There can't be many grandchildren who don't love horses and donkeys.....maybe they have their own horse or remember days at the seaside, not complete without a donkey ride! Why not let them know about some who are not too well looked after by going to www.thebrookeshop.org and see what they (and you) can do to help, particularly at Christmas time.
Puppy dogs and pussy cats....... are your grandchildren asking for a pet for Christmas? If it is not possible for them to have one of their own, why not give them an unusual gift by sponsoring one. At www.sponsormebetter.org.uk you can have a look together - let them choose their own - and get full details how to help the animals.
There are grandparents worldwide who cannot enjoy Christmas for lots of reasons. Take a look at www.helptheaged.org.uk (click on the second heading once you are in) and see how you and your grandchildren could help to make their lives better with a Christmas donation - you'll find full details and information on how older people can be helped at home and abroad.
Christmas is a time for children. there are so many underpriviledged ones everywhere that Granny Look thought you may like some information about buying gifts for them. At www.mytwofrontteeth.org you'll find a Wish List of gifts, some details of the children themselves, and how you can help in other ways.
