Celebrating the holidays differently. What gift can you give yourself?

This year we helped a family who had lost everything. It truly was a sneaky thing, as they had no idea. The youngsters asked for nothing but clothes. That they got, and the parents got grocery gift cards. It made our day brighter to forego any gift giving, and knowing these kids are warm, and family fed. Our area has been hit hard by pandemic shutdowns and fires.

We rang our sleigh bells at 6pm last night, to help Santa find his way.

@gingerw So nice of you to help the family! I’d been feeling down over Christmas because of all that’s going on in the world. I’ve normally been a big volunteer person but was talked out of everything because of my health. Then I hit on some ways I could help! Through a Covid crisis page in a neighborhood about families needing help. And another neighborhood page “sell nothing, buy nothing” one women asked for help with Christmas gifts for her kids and another needed help with Christmas dinner. It sure lifted my spirits to still be able to help.
You are always an inspiration for me! Thank you. Becky
