I was invited to a facebook group today that was dedicated to random acts of Christmas kindness. The group was based on this blog and I really liked the idea. I wanted to replicated the intentions without the religious aspects.
I found this organization that seemed to fit the bill. I liked the idea of striving for random kindness year round. In the spirit of the original though I am going to approach the month of December in an especially random kindness kind of way.
I've made a list of some of the random activities I would like to attempt this month. A number of these ideas were borrowed for the original blog, and a few are though up by me, and others are inspired from random sources. I will add to the list as the month goes on as I think of other random acts of kindness I can include.
*Grocery shopping for the sole purpose of putting it in the “Food for Families” box in the entryway of the store
*Taping quarters to vending and toy machines around town
*Pay past due library fees for 5 people
*Shop for toys to donate to the girl scouts Christmas tree in the mall
*Donate pet food to the Newport Aquarium on their night of lights
*Give money to the salvation army bell ringers
*All December I am going to say "Yes" when store clerks ask me if I want to round up to the even dollar to donate to whatever they are raising money for
I won't be able to do one for every day in December, but I will keep my eye out for additional opportunities all month.
