Dear Heloise: It’s time to think about Christmas cards. I don’t send many, but I buy cardsfromUNICEFandmuseum gift shops. The money goes to these organizations to use as they see fit. They all have distinctive gifts like scarves and jewelry, too. Check them out online. Items come in nice gift boxes with the organization’s logos. -- Carolyn McDonough, in Canaan, Connecticut
