12 Days of Christmas Kindness – Day Two!
It’s Day Two of 12 Days of Christmas Kindness, giving simple and doable ideas for reaching out to others during the Christmas season. If you missed Day One, where we love bombed our family members with sticky notes, click here.
For Day Two, let’s treat a “necessary person”!
A necessary person is someone who helps you get life done each week. So, for day two, gift a cashier, gas attendant, grocery bagger, bank teller, or other worker with a sweet or salty treat. Attach a note thanking them of their diligent work using one of the FREE printable cards below.

Now for today’s giveaway!!!
Today I’m joined by the fabulous Sophie Hudson, aka BooMama. One of the greatest compliments I have ever received is when a few people have told me that I am the Mid-western version of Sophie (or she is the Southern version of me!)
Sophie is an author, speaker, football fan and Starbucks flat white coffee lover (SAME!) and through her stories, hopes that women find encouragement, hope, and laughter in the everyday, joy-filled moments of life.
Sophie’s Day Two Giveaway is an Amazon Kindle bundle of her three books. (NO worries if you don’t own a Kindle. You can download the free Kindle app and read them on your phone, tablet, or computer) These books are A Little Salty to Cut the Sweet, Home is Where My People Are, and Giddy Up, Eunice.
Get all the scoop on Sophie’s books here and connect with her on on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Want a little taste of her humor? Check out the podcast she co-hosts, The Big Boo Cast.

Now let’s go scatter some Christmas kindness and be sure to come back tomorrow!
This is a great idea! I think I will bless our mail lady.
Little bags of Cookies, with a special pen attached to it with the above note is what will be done today! ? I love being able to bless others!
I love this! We will see some friends from our homeschool community today so I am thinking about them as they totally help me do life each week! But I also want to do something for our milkman when he delivers next Monday. I am thinking hard about this.
I love this idea. I will start with my vanpool driver!
I always try to make a point of noting name tags so I can look at a cashier and use their name to say “Thank you” which I think means so much especially at this time of year. Love the idea of a small gift and card :)
What a great way to let people know how thankful you are for them !!!
Perfect! Taking my two little dogs to the groomers and this will be perfect for them!
Great idea especially for those working in retail this busy time of year.. thanks for the cards!
Great idea! So many people are overlooked in their work and yet what would we do without them?
Love the printable cards! Thinking of who I could use these for today.
I’m excited about the idea for today! Me and my son are off to the store to buy some cookies to bake then we might just go to different places to spread the kindness and treats! Hopefully we can catch the mail lady (:

I air popped some popcorn and left a small bag of it with a note hanging from our mailbox for our mail carrier. Posted it publicly on facebook.
Thanks for the little printable cards, and for introducing me to Sophie! I love the idea of scattering Christmas kindness!
Great idea to scatter some Christmas kindness! :)
Today we will leave a goodie for our mail carrier.
Great reminder to thank everyone in my life… as soon as I get some baking done, I will definitely be printing off some of your labels and spreading some #12daysofChristmaskindness
I will spread the love and joy while running my errands today!

I have been struggling with alot of pain with this surgery, especially this morning.? I had some pistachios and christmas candy so I printed one of the cards and put in a baggie and tucked it inside my mailbox for my sweet mail lady!
Thinking of the mailman who is extra busy this time of year.
What a great idea. Especially this time of year I think of the UPS and Fedex delivery people. Where would we be with the “present men” as they are known in our house.
Love this concept. I think my bank ladies can use a sweet treat today. Its pretty chilly out so maybe something to warm them up also. ;-)
I think I’ll do this for my girl’s teachers. They can be quite dramatic at times.
Thanks so much for the idea….we are heading to a retirement home for my dc to play their violins and we will be scattering some kindness to 6 or the workers there.
I just found out about this due to
Sophie’s Tweet. I plan to take a Sweet Treat to our Branch Bank for ALWAYS taking such awesome personal care of my family. We live in a suburb of about 25,000 but this is OUR bank. Our city has the old hometown feel where you feel as though most everyone knows you or knows someone who knows you. Anyway, the people at our Branch Bank are simply THE BEST!! We’ve taken them goodies before to tell them how much we appreciate them! We have 2 Small
Businesses so it seems as though we are in there all the time. Thanks for this wonderful reminder & the great downloads!!
Always, always thnakful for our men and women in uniform- military, guard, police, fire, and EMTs are seriously gifts from God!
