Thanks, everybody!

The Creative Loafing Online Holiday Auction concluded yesterday — and thanks to the organizations that donated their services and the readers who bid on them, we raised $11,972.32 for The Children's Home.

That's a pretty nice sum for our first time out, and we can't thank all of you enough for taking part. The winning bids on the 58 items offered for auction ranged from bargain-basement (20 bucks for the sex editor's undies) to tidy investment ($1,700 for the cover). We'll let you know who won what in coming days (though we'll try not to spoil anyone Christmas surprises).
