Six beautifully themed homes dot the tour. Start your evening at "The Dickens' House" (#1) and step back into the days of Tiny Tim and the Christmas Carol. Warm yourself with wassail before heading next door to "A Woodland Christmas" (#2). Here you'll bask in the soothing melodies of the piano while you cozy yourself by a crackling fire. "Timeless Elegance" (#3) will wrap you in red and gold memories of a classical Christmas, while "Visions of Sugarplums" (#4) takes your spirit on a magical journey through the wonders of the season. Travel around the world at "The Nativity House" (#5) and delight in a collection of nativities from countries near and far. Finally, cap your evening with a visit to "Chateau Noel" (#6), where Christmas splendor fills each room with tidings of comfort and joy.
The tour is from 5-9 PM on Saturday, December 6th. Admission is a donation, whether it be pennies or pounds, to the Mothers Without Borders organization. With your tax-deductible donations, we will be providing fortified formula to mothers in Zambia who cannot afford to feed their newborns. Every cent helps. Come and enjoy the spirit of the season . . .

What a good excuse to see other people's beautiful houses and Christmas decorations!
I quickly skimmed the Mothers Without Borders website, but wasn't able to find an answer to this question--do you know why they're providing formula rather than encouraging (free and healthier) breastfeeding? Is there a reason these women can't breastfeed?
Anyway, a great holiday initiative!
Hi RachelMae:
The women can breastfeed for six months without infecting their children with the HIV virus but after that point, the virus seeps in through their milk. In many circumstances it's a choice of watching their children die of starvation because they don't have alternate milk to provide for them, or continuing to nurse knowing the child will eventually get the AIDS virus and have a shorter life but not die for maybe thirty years. We'd like to remove those horrible choices from them and help to provide them a better one altogether: formula after six months.
Oh, interesting. Thanks for the answer! Great cause.
