It is easy in the busy in the world we live in to forget about those in need. This coming Christmas do what you can to help spread the Christmas spirit and bring love into someone’s heart. It doesn’t have to take a lot of time or money to change this Christmas.
You might not realize it but you probably have lots of things around your home that you no longer use or need. You can call area shelters or community resource centers to find out what they are in need of.
Remember what you donate may be the only gifts some people may receive this year. Don’t donate anything that is broken, worn out, or missing crucial parts. Donating things you already own helps you get better organized. You will be sure to land on Santa’s nice list for a job well done.
Everyone knows that practically all kids write letters to Santa Claus. Most are hoping to find something special under their Christmas tree. And all children should receive gifts during the Christmas season. If your kids have out grown toys or clothes consider donating them instead of throwing them away. During these unsure economical times there are many families who need the extra help. Before you drop off toys be sure that they have been cleaned first. If the clothes you plan to donate are in poor condition should be thrown away.
While you are out shopping you will notice some stores have bins for donated toys. If you are able to, pick out an inexpensive toy to add to the bin. Sometimes these toys are the only gift some children for receive Christmas so please do what you.
Some communities have programs where needy kids’ letters to Santa are shared with people willing to fulfill the things wanted. Many times it will include the clothes and shoes sizes they need. Similar programs for feeding a family on Christmas day also exist. If you decide to participate in one of these programs buy quality goods. The people who do this truly make these children’s Christmas letter wishes come true.
Senior citizens are often forgotten during the holiday season. There is something you can probably do in your own neighborhood. If there are any older people near you who live alone and rarely maybe never have visitors do something to brighter their Christmas. It doesn’t have to be anything elaborate. Simple cards with a pair of gloves or even a plate of homemade goodies are good choices. On the gift tag you could write a gift from Santa
The true spirit of Christmas shines through the people who do what they can to help out their fellow man. Kindness and generosity are more precious than anything that can be bought or placed under the Christmas tree. This year let the spirit of Christmas shine through your heart and help those around you.
