[Note from Mike: The following guest post is from my good friend and OFFICIAL Buzz Kids Reporter, Cole.  He's only 3 years old, but he has an amazing understanding of the importance of giving to others.  You can see below that Cole and I share a passion for snow angels, but I had no idea that his musical tastes were so fabulous, too!  Seriously...The Beatles!  Cole is an AWESOME kid!]

Dear Mr. Schaffer,

Ever since I saw the video of you making a snow angel for 12for12K I have been trying to find ways I can help do something nice for someone else and teach others to do good too.  At school I was the door helper and helped my teacher and friends by holding the door. I am trying to teach my baby sister Lauren to share. Mom says that whether you are big (like Mike) or small (like Lauren) everyone can do something to help others. And that is what 12for12k is all about…doing something.

I wanted to make you another angel, but there’s no snow.  I tried anyway, but it didn’t work.  I was a little mad about that, but mom showed me a concert on the 12for12k site. I did a holiday concert at my school and mom said that even though it’s not winter, I can still do a concert!

So here it is… my own concert for 12for12K. The song I chose is “I Want to Hold Your Hand,” by The Beatles.  I like to sing it to my baby sister and it makes her laugh. I hope that everyone who hears my concert will smile.  Maybe if I can make some more people smile, they’ll visit 12for12k and help bring some smiles to those who need one.

Thank you for letting me come play on your blog.

Sincerely,

Cole

Age 3
