Twelve Days of Christmas Kindness

Those who celebrate know that Christmas is a time for holiday cheer, but not everyone finds it easy to find joy and gladness this time of the year.  The benefits of serving others are well known, and because of that we wanted to challenge you to a "gift" giving challenge these twelve days before Christmas, to help spread a little extra kindness around the community this year.  A gift doesn't have to be big, or expensive to make an impact -- a simple smile and a kind word can go a long way towards brightening someone else's day.  Unexpected flowers, a home-baked loaf of bread, or an extra story before bed; a leisurely walk, conversation over tea, taking time to be present and show interest in a life few people see.  Notice the unnoticeable people around you.  There is good to be done to stranger and to family and to friend.  So spread a little extra kindness and ​everybody ​wins!
