What a wonderful Christmas season it has been. This year for Christmas I wanted to try and get the kids more involved in helping others so we did a 12 days of Christmas kindness (which only ended up being 9 days).
Day one: We took hot cocoa to our school crossing guards in the morning while they were standing out in the cold wind.
Day Two: We sorted our toys and decided what to donate to DI and took it too them.
Day three: WE took treats to the ladies in the front office at the kids school.
Day four: We took treats to the workers at our local post office
Day five: We went to Costco and gathered all the stray carts and took them to the cart returns as well as taking carts from those that were finished.
Day six: we took treats to the employees that worked in the customer service area at Walmart
Day seven: we took treats around to our friends and neighbors
Day eight: Left a treat for our mailman
Day nine: we bought the Salvation Army bell ringer hot cocoa
a few things we didn't get to but wanted to do and will be on our list to do next year are taping quarters to the kid vending machines, and taking Poinsettias to someone in a nursing home oh and give someone behind me in line a gift card.
The kids loved returning the carts the most and ask to do it every time we go to Costco.
We also had a wonderful Christmas day, this year it was just us and it was a little quiet but still a lot of fun. The kids were spoiled of course and loved every minute.
Some of their favorites this year: Holland and her Strawberry Shortcake
Q and his aircraft carrier
Ellie and her art supplies
Weiland and his dalmation
We hope you all had a very merry Christmas.
