Do you try to do at least one 'good deed' at Christmas time?

I try to do "good deeds" throughout the year. For Christmas my family takes new toys, food, and house hold items to the Ronald McDonald House Charities, pick a charity angel from the tree, and we volunteer at Habitat for Hounds rescue.

I volunteer at a local nursing home, every day of the year I am able to, not just Christmas. However, at Christmas time, I will take a couple of names from the nursing home activity director and purchase a few $20 or less items for those residents in the home. Some residents are living there with no family left...It's nice for them to know they are still thought of!

nicely, one deed in contact various. each 3 hundred and sixty 5 days I do a city secret Santa the place you get a needy toddler's description of what they desire and desire and wrap up the presents and grant to the community hearth station for distribution. This 3 hundred and sixty 5 days I did that and additionally shopped for a Salvation military Angel Tree eldery lady wanting a comforter and a few own issues, the Humane Society had a latest tree the place you picked an envelope and it reported a needy merchandise(s) and that i fulfilled it (various huge steel buckets). I extra used clothing and coats to the community relatives homeless look after; i offered various toys for the U. S. Marines "Toys for toddlers" barrels in a superb style of the shops I keep at, and that i donated to our community Senior electorate nutrients center that still makes and provides the 'nutrients on Wheels' application. finally, I volunteer at a community soup kitchen on Christmas Eve and Day - all in a wheelchair! I do get around!

Yes I do. Each year my family picks a child's name off the Christmas tree on our church and buys them a gift. It always makes you feel special knowing that you are making someone else happy. I also am packing shoeboxes at a local church to send out to underprivelged children in other countries. Its amazing to know that just putting a few simple items in a shoebox can make such a difference. Happy Holidays to you :)

Yes, only at Christmas time. The other days of the year are just too much work and require too much of my time.

Yes! My brother and I each buy several gifts for the giving tree at our church.
