Although generosity should not be demonstrated solely at Christmas-time, it is still the perfect season to exhibit compassion and human kindness. It is a life lesson that all children should have the opportunity to learn.
The Countdown to Christmas Challenge for today is to begin to research ways for your family to give this season. Take a look around your community for something meaningful to you. Remember that if you don’t offer some help, who will? This will be a difficult Christmas for many people this year. You don’t have to give money to contribute. Look for ways you can donate your time and energy as well.
