Random Acts of Christmas Kindness #2

Because the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad cold virus knocked us out for an entire week, leaving me with bronchitis which lasted another week or more...we only ended up being able to complete 2 random acts of Christmas kindness this holiday season.

The week before Christmas, the boys and I made homemade gingerbread playdoh which we wrapped up with cookie cutters to be delivered to children in the foster care system, who are about to be permantly severed from their biological families. :( We hope these little gifts brought them joy this Christmas!

And even though the season of giving has come to an end, I plan to continue teaching the boys the importance of giving through random acts of kindness all year long! In fact, de-clutter mode is in full effect at our house...we are purging everything in sight, planning to make several trips to goodwill in the process. It is such a joy to hear my oldest tell me that he wants to give his stuff to "kids who don't have anything."

I will let you know what other random acts of kindness we come up with along the way and I hope you will do the same!

Random Acts of Christmas Kindness #1

We decided to get in on the whole "light up your community with random acts of Christmas kindness" thing, trying to do at least 1 a week until Christmas! 

Today we baked cookies and delivered them to workers at our local post office and grocery store! It was so much fun seeing their faces light up and such a great opportunity for Little A to experience the true spirit of Christmas! 

Have you and your family performed any random acts of kindness this Christmas season? I would love to hear about them!

I will let you know what we do next week and please do the same! Merry Christmas, friends! :)
