Project Holiday Spirit---So cool!
Dec 2 2007, 2:39 AM EST
Ok, it's already working on me! Great idea, great way to show the spirit and really bring something nice back into the season. I just made my donation, and I think it'll be really fun to send out cards, too. I can't wait to hear Van's reaction. I totally understood where he was coming from in his blog, but I can't imagine this won't help right his holiday ship, so to speak. Thanks for sharing, twins! 4  out of 5 found this valuable. Do you?

I wish I could make a donation right now! But I don't have a bank account, so I'm going to ask Roger if I may send him money to donate for me, for them. lol. I hope I can. I really want to be a part of that too. :) I hope we're able to see Van's reaction! Do you find this valuable?

So, I am not the only one up in the middle of the night! I just made my donation! This is so cool! What should we say in the cards?

Hmmm. Maybe something like "Yes, Van Hansis, there is a Santa Claus." :) Do you find this valuable?

I think this will be a great idea and I will be getting my cards in the mail soon. I can't make a donation at this time, but hopefully next year when I have a job that actually pays. Thanks for the chance to do something nice. I felt a little sad when I read Van's blog too, and I think this would be a perfect way to let him know people care beyond the commercial side of Christmas. Do you find this valuable?

The Christmas cards may sound like a good idea but does anyone know if Jake Silbermann observes Christmas? Silbermann sounds like a Jewish name and he does look like he could be Jewish. Do you find this valuable?

I was safe and sent him a "Holiday" card. :)

"I think most of us went that route and did a holiday card, because the name DOES sound Jewish, but, no one is quite sure. "
I feel so stupid (and foreign) right now... I just send a 'merry Xmas' card.. :P I never thought about Jake being Jewish, I guess it's because in Holland (where I live) we don't have that many Jewish people or I just don't know any (we have more Muslims) and here religion is not very important anymore... Omg I'm making a way to big a deal of it! ;)

irissaulus what you did was just fine. We are not sure he is Jewish we just speculate about once and awhile. My firends know I am 1/2 Jewish, but I am a practicing Christian. I do however get Hanukkah cards every year from people and I am never hurt or insulted. It actually makes me feel kind of good. Just the fact that you sent a card is what counts. Please, don't feel bad! Steve

Anyone who participated should be sure to mention it in their letters to P&G. Letting them know that you've enjoyed Luke and Noah so much that you made a financial donation to a charity fundraiser in their honor that has raised over $6,000 in three weeks is just one more sign of the dedication and spending power of Nuke fans.

Great idea! I will mention it the next time Bruce and I write letters. Steve

"Something else I wanted to add about this...

For those of you that also send cards to the guys, a member on VH.net met Van after a performance this weekend and he told her that he and Jake got the cards on Thursday. They weren't taping, but had gone into the studio because it was the last day before the holiday break and the cards were there.

Something that I found quite impressive, when Jen introduced herself to Van, he actually remembered her name and remembered details about her card (mentioned how she's going to be going to Russia to teach soon.) How cool is that? She also told him that money is still being donated and he seemed incredibly touched by the whole thing.

Great job everyone.
T"
Everything I've heard seems to indicate he's a genuinely polite and friendly guy who appreciates his fans...it's good to know we've got good reason to be fans, besides the obvious.

You're welcome. It was my first post as a member of this site and I was hoping it wouldn't sound too obnoxious. I joined wiki just so I could join this site, and I already feel welcome. Thanks so much for your kind response.

I know that people are still making donations, but does anyone know the cut off date and when the money is suppose to be donated. Do you find this valuable?

Good question. I just received a sizeable gift from some relatives and am thinking of passing it on.
