You blinked! (so did I) and Christmas is here. . . 12 days away! So, we stumbled upon an awesome graphic (thanks CNN) with some amazing Christmas Kindness Ideas that are sure to get your family out spreading the holiday cheer that we desperately need in today’s society.
MAKE IT SIMPLE
One of the biggest misconceptions is that Acts of Kindness need to be massive – big. That we need to live up to the epic people that are featured on Ellen, CNN Heroes, but that’s not true. Sometimes the most memorable acts of kindness are the small ones that we receive. That’s why we loved this list – they are all simple, require little time, effort and money. So spread some Christmas Kindness cheer this holiday season and I promise, you’ll have some amazing stories to tell.
