Do a good deed this Christmas - read a comic strip! This year, Pénélope Bagieu of the popular TypePad blog, Ma vie est toute à fait fascinante, is exchanging her gift for drawing comics into Christmas presents for kids all over France.

From 17 November until Christmas, Orange will make a monetary donation to the long-standing "Arbre de Noël" initiative of the French Red Cross, for every visitor to Mon Beau Sapin. Through the  "Arbre de Noël" project, hundreds of children in France get a Christmas present every year - from Santa himself!
 
Mon Beau Sapin will feature the Christmas-themed artwork of Pénélope and a bevy of undisclosed French cartoonists; the only way to see the full roster of participants is to check the blog regularly.

On her latest project, Pénélope says:

"I was frustrated that there are so many children out there who won't be getting a present this Christmas. That got me thinking if there was something I could do personally, and I immediately thought of creating a comic strip blog. Something where people don't even realize they're making a difference - all they're doing is enjoying a little free comic strip. No hard work, just a bit of fun. So I called the Red Cross and got in touch with some other comic artists to get involved."
