Greetings,
I hope you and your loved ones have a nice and warm holiday season! However, this is the most wonderful time of the year. (Christmas time.) Christmas time is my favorite Holiday. Is it yours as well? If not, what is your favorite Holiday? Is it Thanksgiving, Labor Day, Independence Day, Memorial Day, etc? Why is Christmas my favorite Holiday? The joys of the season bring out generosity in just about everyone which helps spread happiness throughout the holiday season.
Also, I love spending time with my family and seeing my children and all the children in my family opening their gifts with pure JOY in their beautiful eyes. Nevertheless, Christmas is a time where people come together despite their differences and who they are. Furthermore, I also love all the gorgeous decorations, trees, the sweet-smelling aroma of the dishes that are being prepared, and the beautiful lights that make me feel joyous! In contrast, I also adore and love the act of kindness that people show to others.
For example, visiting a homeless shelter to donate blankets, coats, gloves, hats, or socks. Wherefore, each item keeps someone warm and can help them survive those awfully cold nights. Consequently, I came up with 7 ways to give back to the community this Christmas.
“Seven ways to give back to the community this Christmas“
- Lend a helping hand. With the added economic burden of the pandemic, a lot of people are in need this holiday season. This will be an awesome time to help someone.
- Thank the Emergency Services. Remember, not everyone gets Christmas day off with family and friends. So, show your appreciation by buying a gift, show them that you care, and too always thank them for their good deeds, etc. Bring Christmas to those that are keeping us safe this Christmas.
- Have a safe holiday food drive. Moreso, this time of year money can be very hard to come by due to the fact that (2020) has been a very drastic year. You can collect food (can goods) or any food item of your choice.
- Express your gratitude. Creating a family/friends gratitude journal is an excellent way to have meaningful conversations to reconnect during the holiday season.
- Make a phone call and inspire someone. Do you know anyone that has lost someone close to them this year? A letter, a phone call, or a drive-by visit to let the grieving know that you are praying for them, and thinking about them as well. This wonderful act of kindness will really help make a huge difference in their life.
- Help the Homeless. Imagine a Christmas with no loved ones, no food, no home to go to. Christmas time for the homeless can be a very painful time. Why not remind them that they are not forgotten, by delivering and making lovely Christmas stockings. Fill your gift with happy Christmas treats. By doing this wonderful duty will make a difference for the homeless. Fortunately, doing this will also put a bright smile on their faces.
- Volunteer. Volunteering this Christmas with extreme caution will be greatly appreciated, by giving your time to help somebody in need shows a lot about who you are as a person.
In conclusion, during the most beautiful and greatest time of the year, let us all stay prayerful, showing love, and support for one another.
Happy Holidays,
Nishia ❤
