Dear Friends,
Happy Holidays!
I hope that when you saw the subject line of this email, you did not just read it, but you sang it in your head. And if you didn't, here's another chance to channel in Andy Williams' famous holiday song and sing with me:
It's the most, wonderful time, of the year!
(There, that's better)
Spread some holiday cheer!
Definitely the holiday season can feel stressful and overwhelming with endless to-do's and obligations. However, in the big picture, the holidays are magical if you allow them to be.
If not for yourself, make this season magical for somebody else!
Here are some ideas:
- Count how many houses have decorations or lights when you drive at night.
- Turn on holiday music in the background when you get home.
- Whisper a special wish in your heart for each person that you send a holiday card to.
- Make eye contact with strangers you pass and say, "Happy Holidays."
- Create a handmade gift and deliver it to your co-workers or friends.
- Recognize the community helpers (postal carrier, gardener, trash collector, grocer, police officer, etc) around you and write them a thank you card.
- Donate to an organization that helps care for underprivileged kids, families, or individuals.
- Offer to decorate your neighbor's front yard with lights or ornaments.
- Share a thoughtful compliment every day to somebody different.
- Wear something festive everyday - a bell, a hat, an ugly sweater...
In other words...
let's MAKE IT the most wonderful time of the year!
Love,
Grace
