With Thanksgiving behind us, it's time to start celebrating the rest of the holidays. Don't forget those who may have a hard time enjoying the season. Give back this season by donating to local toy drives.

Blair E. Batson Children's Hospital Holiday Toy Drive

Don't forget to donate new, unwrapped toys to the toy drive for Blair E. Batson! Drop your donations off by Dec. 13 at the Jackson office of the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks (1505 Eastover Dr.). Call 601-432-2400 for more information.

Toys for Tots Toy Drive

If you love Nick's (3000 Old Canton Road, 601-981-8017) or The Mermaid Cafe (652 Bellevue Drive, Madison, 601-605-8764), and also love children, why not donate a toy at either restaurant? If you bring in a toy for Toys for Tots, you get a buy-one-get-one-free voucher for either place.
