During the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, it s easy to get caught up in the rush of overflowing schedules, maxing out credit cards to fulfill wish lists, and feeling overwhelmed by trying to keep up with it all. But, it s important to step back and remember the true meaning of the season. The holidays are a time where we can honor traditions and create new memories, attend festive parties, and spend more time with our loved ones. One of the best things about the holiday season is that it inspires many to be a little nicer, more giving, more social, and generally overall better to one other. When people get in that holiday spirit, they feel compelled to go beyond giving just gifts but also their time, their kind words, and more. Spreading kindness or holiday cheer during this time can be as simple as giving a dollar to the homeless you encounter on your commute every morning, to volunteering, to distributing holiday meals to those in need, to treating a close friend to dinner. The possibilities are endless. Shovel the neighbor s walk or clear their car of snow before they come out in the morning. Deliver homemade holiday goodies to a homeless shelter, women s shelter or nursing home. Offer to read holiday stories to kids at the library or to residents at a nursing home. Adopt a family (check with your local social services, church or shelter) and surprise them with meals and gifts that fill needs and wants. Remember the people who serve with special gifts or notes of appreciation: the mail carrier, the garbage collector, the minister or choir director at your church, the crossing guard, librarian, lunch ladies or janitor at school, the first responders anyone who makes your neighborhood run. And don t forget your neighbors! Host a holiday open house and ask that no one bring dishes or drinks but instead bring a new toy wrapped and labeled or a donation that will go to a local charity. Instead of just signing holiday cards and mailing them, write a personal note in each. What a difference that makes to the recipient! Deliver warm clothes, socks, shoes, mittens, hats, scarves, and jackets to a homeless shelter. While kindness knows no seasonal boundaries, the good holiday vibes, unfortunately, don t always last forever. Most people get into the spirit and somewhat inherently fall out when the new year and busy schedules pick up again so the most important thing to remember is that it is simple to be kind and to do it all year round. People often think
to do something good, they have to volunteer or write a check. Doing good for others could be simple daily tasks such as holding the door open for a stranger or buying coffee for your colleague. There are so many ways to spread a little love and holiday cheer. Better yet, keep it going all year! What about you? In what ways do you and your family perform acts of holiday kindness? How might you keep the inspiration going year round?
