Give Good Cheer

'Tis the season where we hear a lot about cheer... spreading it, receiving it, reveling in it. And it's also a season in which for some reason, despite all that we hear and talk about giving, often we think of ourselves most.

What do I want for Christmas?
I wish people would get out of my way so I can get my shopping done...
All of the holiday traffic is so inconvenient for me...
I'm so busy this month...

I know I'm guilty of all of those thoughts, plus more. Recently a friend sent me a cool & short video about giving cheer... and simply giving. It was a great reminder to stop thinking about myself so dang much, and also a reminder that little things really can make a difference. Check it out!


What if we each made the commitment to GIVE this season, in whatever way we can?
It doesn't have to be world changing...

GIVE...
BACK
A Little
A LOT
FREELY
SWEETLY
THANKS
TO PEOPLE YOU KNOW
TO PEOPLE YOU DON'T
UNEXPECTEDLY
GENEROUSLY
SINCERELY
Give.
