Christmas begins at St. John's Church in Stamford today with the opening of Cards for Good Causes.
The multi charity Christmas card shop is one of hundreds across the country but the Stamford one is consistently one of the top performers nationwide. Over 70 local and national causes are represented there. The pop-up runs for 10 weeks from today until near Christmas.
