This morning I thought about writing about the holiday madness, the shopping frenzy; even the crazy people that waste their time fight crowds for the best deals on Thanksgiving and Black Friday. But why focus on that; let's talk about the events of the holidays that are memory makers.
There are so many events in every community that can put a smile on your face and give you the opportunity to enjoy the season. It starts with Thanksgiving Day; many communities serve meals to the needy. Then from Rockefeller Center to Robbinsdale Minnesota cities host sing along activities and entertainment with a Christmas Tree lighting ceremony. I am pretty sure you can find a local Church that puts together a little Christmas program where you can see the local children put smiles on the faces of their parents. Jingle Bell runs for charity are popular and of course the opportunity to give to a needy family is available through your workplace or church.
This is the season of love and kindness, let's remember that as we fight for the "good" parking spot or as we get annoyed by long lines. Take sometime to make a few other folks load a bit lighter; make this a holiday season to remember, not because you got a great deal, but because you made someone's day.
Happy Holidays!
