Holiday Cheer

"If we all do one random act of kindness daily, we just might set the world in the right direction."

It's November 1st! That means holiday season is about to begin. I think sometimes we tend to forget what the holidays are really for so I have decided to random acts of kindness everyday, starting December 1st, leading up to Christmas. I'm writing this blog a month before hand so maybe some of my Facebook friends will see it & want to join in! Here is a list of things I plan on doing (in no particular order):

- make a care package for someone sick. It's runny nose season & no one wants to take care of themselves!
- bake cookies and give them to friends/family/neighbors
-tape bag of popcorn to redbox machine
- buy someone else's coffee in line at Starbucks
- volunteer at the soup kitchen
-cook soup & grilled cheese for the people staying at the Ronald Mcdonald house
-bring/make someone breakfast
- send a package to a soldier in Afghanistan
- donate clothes to a shelter
-donate dog/cat food to a local animal shelter
-bring flowers to the nursing home to hand out
-treat someone on a tight budget to lunch (Mcdonald's counts!)
- tape candy canes to random places
- clean out/wash/vacuum a family member/friends car without them knowing
-write someone an anonymous letter to brighten their day
-run an errand for someone who has a busy schedule
- be a FRIENDLY driver. don't honk at people, let others out ahead of you, etc
-leave a nice tip while out to eat at a resteraunt
-home make doggie treats. hey! they need a little kindness too
- convince someone to be an organ donor
- write 5 thank you notes for people that have touched your heart
-return grocery carts back in store for shoppers
-offer to help an elderly person load their groceries into their car
-drop off a dozen donuts & "thank you" notes to the police station
-write a "thank you" note to teachers to give on finals day

If anyone else has any other ideas, I would love to hear them! Message me if you would live to do any of these R.A.K's with me. Everything is a lot more fun with a group of people! (:
