The season of Goodwill. What can you give?  It may take some effort but you can be that Sparkle in someone's Christmas. 

Maya Angelou famously quoted 'I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” 

For those you may not know ...

This Christmas could be the one where you add that sparkle by helping those with whom you come into contact feel that Christmas spirit.

Try some of these and see if the Christmas spirit comes full circle ...

Simply offering the Christmas customary greeting 'Merry Christmas' with a smile 

Offer some level of service e.g. open a door and allow someone to enter before you

Offer to help someone carry their shopping

Take the time to write Christmas cards and give to your neighbours

And for those you love...

Offer to help with some house projects e.g. painting or gardening. These jobs are often fun when you can work as a team.

Offer to babysit or keep an elder company for a future date

Take the time out to write out a favourite family recipe and share

Write down a shared memory including how your loved ones presence enhanced your experience and give it to them

Make a playlist of your favourite tracks of 2024 and share

Print a photo of fun times with loved ones, write a caption on the back and give 

And for your community ...

When you next buy a BOGO gift the other to a food bank or appropriate charity
