Day 17

Make Someone’s Day

For some of us, Christmas already is about making other people happy, about family time and thoughtful gifts. Even though we sometimes stress a little too much ;)

But for some, it is a hard time. Maybe financially, maybe they lost someone this year, or are sick themselves.

So I thought it would be nice to pass on some blessings to someone else. This can be a person you know or a total stranger. Here are a few ideas:

• Make it a day of compliments.
• Hold the door open for anyone.
• Let someone cut ahead of you at the grocery store checkout.

 

• Send someone a real Christmas card or letter via snail mail.
• Have flowers delivered for no reason at all.
• Send a text to tell someone you’re thinking about them.
• Tell someone how they inspired you.
• Leave a piece of candy on a coworker’s desk.
• Bake cookies or bring fresh fruit to a neighbor.

 

• Leave a more-than-generous tip for your server.
• Donate something to a homeless or animal shelter, or to a food drive.
• Pay for the coffee for the next one in line.

 

These are just ideas, I am sure you can come up with lots of fun ways to make someone’s day :)

Merry Christmas,
