If you’re finishing (or, ahem, just starting) your Christmas shopping today, here’s a little good news.

You can meet Falcons players Coy Wire and Tony Gonzalez at Phipps Plaza this evening.

They’ll be in the “Monarch Court” area, meeting and greeting from 7 to 8 p.m. tonight. For a donation to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Georgia and Alabama, they will sign an autograph for you.

(By the way they aren’t set up to process credit cards or deal with checks so you actually need to slap down some green).

Wire has been involved with Make-A-Wish before. He and quarterback Matt Ryan hosted a charity mini-golf tournament this fall to benefit the organization.

See www.seasonofwishes2010.org for more information about charity.
