‘Tis the Season to be Kind

by Nina on November 9, 2011

Over the weekend, I heard Christmas music on the radio for the first time this season and it transformed my whole attitude! Fa la la la la la is the new tune in my head and I’m loving it! I think I might even have a new skip in my step.

November and December are very busy months for our family. On top of our traditional celebrations of Thanksgiving and Christmas, the majority of our families’ birthdays fall in the last two months of the year along with a hand full of our close friends! It’s a wonderful time of year. I love the holidays and birthdays and everything that comes along with both. Gift giving, party planning, cooking, baking and singing carols with those we love the most.

But it’s also a time of year to give back. We should be thinking of ways that we can give back and help others all year long, but it’s especially important during the holidays.

My dear friend, Erin, and I were brainstorming about a month ago about ways that we can give back this season. Our list just grew and grew and we decided to make a printable for you all in case you’re looking for ideas.

The list has 25 ways to give back and be kind. Some of the items are the simplest things you can think of, but make such a difference to the person you’re helping. My goal is to do each of these acts at least once before Christmas and I challenge you to do the same.

Together with the help of fabulous designer Kelly Ashworth, we created Erin and Nina’s 25 Acts of Kindness List. Please feel free to download this and print it for your personal use!

I agree with Hopsy. You gals need to be more original instead of doing similar or same posts!

Thank you, Lauren, Lydia and Mama Perks! We’re glad you love the list as much as we do. It’s a wonderful thing to focus on this holiday season.

Hopsy and Dee, thank you for your comments too! I respect your opinions. Although, I believe you must miss most of our daily posts. Erin and I have our own regular content that is not the same, which is what we love about each others blogs! We do partner on giveaways, parties, and special series for our readers. We work together on these projects and create the content together. I appreciate your thoughts and am thankful to have you as readers and friends.

This post is the first of a holiday series we’ve created for this year. I’m confident you’ll love what we have in store!

I sincerely hope everyone enjoys our list and finds extra kindness in their hearts this holiday season!

Nina

I agree with the other commenters. Nina, you’re a great blogger, funny, informative, and thoughtful.
I’m a fan of both you and Ein but I don’t like it when you feature the same content :(
