We are finishing our third full week of NRO’s end-of-the-year webathon. It was a good weekend – there was one very generous gift of five figures, before the decimal point. The explanation given: “I am donating this amount because of the before / after picture of Jack Fowler’s transformation.” Sometimes going goofball pays off. We are deeply appreciative of this terribly kind soul.

As you may know, we seek to gather $150,000 in these last days of 2016, in order to underwrite a complete rebuild of the website for 2017. To date, over 1,000 have donated, and we have over $110,000 in donations. More gratitude for y’all, especially considering what must be your frustration with the glitches and crashes and slow-loads and more. We’re intent on unveiling a superior site that you will desire to visit and enjoy. Let the spirit of the season move you to join with the other kind and selfless donors who are supporting a new NRO: Whether it be $10 or $10,000, you can contribute here. If you prefer PayPal, you can donate here. Old School: Mail a check, payable to “National Review,” to 215 Lexington Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, NY 10016. Thanks so much! And now, on to the beloved donor comments:

Richard sends $50 and has some helium for the Goldberg noggin: “I appreciate the principled and consistent stand your magazine took throughout the election. Continue to stand athwart history yelling ‘Stop!’ P.S. — I deeply admire NRO’s collection of writers. And, I think Jonah Goldberg is outstanding at taking the disparate news items of the day that so many of us follow closely and synthesizing them into cogent, logically consistent arguments and observations. Keep up the great work, guys!!” The dolls will too. Grazia.

Wyckham sends another $50 and admits he’s hooked: “Don’t know what I would do without you guys.” We don’t know what we’d do without you, Big W.

Jeff allocates $25 to the cause, and then prays: “God Bless National Review.” He does.

And finally, Peter donates the unorthodox $730 — but there’s an explanation: “That’s a dollar a day from my wife and from me. Thanks for fighting the good fight.” Give her a big kiss from us. Thanks Peter.

Oh yes: we cannot close without a gratuitous Santa picture. May Hoody Claus inspire your generosity!
