Whether it’s a donation of time or money, giving back to your community during the holidays helps the less fortunate and creates special memories for your family. Consider these ideas for lending a helping hand this holiday season:
- Help the homeless
- Deliver gifts to a family in need
- Write a letter or send a package to a soldier
- Visit the elderly in a local nursing home
- Pay for a family’s groceries
And in giving, may we all feel like Ebenezer Scrooge from Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”: “I am as light as a feather, I am as happy as an angel, I am as merry as a school-boy. I am as giddy as a drunken man. A merry Christmas to every-body! A happy New Year to all the world!”
