More Holiday Season Idea

 Here are a few more ideas (continuting from yesterday) of things you can do to celebrate the season with some special kindness.  Invite someone to see The Nutcracker.  Donate blood.   Participate in Secret Santa programs for families in need.  Call or visit a homebound person, especially on a holiday they celebrate.  Say something nice to everyone you meet today.  

Holiday Season Kindness

Here are a few ideas of things you can do to celebrate the season with some special kindness.  Send a holiday gifts anonymously to a friend.  Tell your parents/children why you love them.  Give a pair of tickets to a concert to a stranger.  Pay for the meal of the person behind you in the drive-through.  Volunteer to read holiday stories to kids in the library.  

the happiness you share

Some people are nicer around this time of year in hopes of getting more Hanukkah and Christmas presents.  Of course there are those who are always nice.  Those are my kind of people.  The biggest present of all is the happiness you share!

I have no proof

I have no proof of this, absolutely no statistics to back me up, but my guess would be that December is the kindest month of the year.  I'm thinking that folks want to be seen in a good light so that they will be remembered favorably when it comes to holiday gift-giving.  Makes sense, huh?  While I also have no proof that planting an idea in your heads might get more of you to try to be more kind, it certainly is worth the try!

December 3rd

Is it cold where you are?  Are there holiday decorations everywhere?  It's only December 3rd, so it really isn't winter yet and even though Christmas appeared way back in September many places, I still think it's too early.  It is never too early though to be a nice person.  December 3rd is the perfect time for kindness because ANY time is the perfect time!

Best of December

If I asked you to choose, what would you say is the best part of December? Is it Christmas? Chanukah? Preparations for the end of the year? There are so many parties and celebrations in this month, but for me the best thing of all is that people seem to be more kind. There's more giving and more loving, and that is always a good thing!

you can't run from AIDS

We have love so many people to AIDS and there are still so many living with HIV. On this World AIDS Day, it's important to keep going forward and not be in denial. The wonderful Queen Latifah said "I lost relatives to AIDS. A couple of my closest cousins, favorite cousins. I lost friends to AIDS, high school friends who never even made it to their 21st birthdays in the '80s. When it's that close to you, you can't - you know, you can't really deny it, and you can't run from it."  We all need to join in the fight, until there's a cure!
