A sweet widow on the street where we raised our th A sweet widow on the street where we raised our three young children once told me that Christmas is an excuse to make someone else’s life better. Remembering this perspective can totally revolutionize your holiday season.⠀ ⠀ Rather than looking with envy at the beautiful decor, amazing gifts, or seemingly perfect families you see on social media, be on the lookout for someone who could use a little Christmas kindness.⠀ ⠀ 💚 Is there a single parent you know who might not get anything from their children because they are so young and no one has thought to help them Christmas shop? Arrange to babysit the children to give the parent a break. However, while you have them, do a little Christmas shopping so they can purchase and wrap a gift or two for their parent. ⠀ ❤️ Think of those who must work at the holidays such as first responders, hospital workers, or even attendants at gas stations that are open on Christmas day. Drop off a goodie box of snacks or some donuts and hot chocolate and thank them for working at Christmas when they could be spending time with those they love. ⠀ 💚 Grab a friend or your children or spouse and take hot chocolate to construction workers out working in the cold. If you live in an area where it’s warm, do the same thing with some iced tea.⠀ ⠀ ❤️ If you see any servicemen or women eating in a restaurant where you are, secretly tell your server to add their bill to yours but not let them know who paid. With a little brainstorming, I am sure you can come up with even more ideas. Drop any you can think of in the comments below. I’d love to hear them!🎄 ✨ FOR MORE IDEAS, check out my book Make Their Day: 101 Simple, Powerful Ways to Love Others Well. Click the link in my profile and scroll until you see the book cover.
