My Husband Hated Christmas. But He Left Me This Year, So Now I’ve Got My First Proper Christmas Tree In 18 Years, And A New Rescue Kitty, So I’m Doing Alright
The True Spirit Of Christmas, From Those Who Don't Even Celebrate It
Shasi and Pallu Patel, who own Meet and Deep Newsagents in Twickenham, London, will dress up in festive outfits, play carols and hand out free mince pies and sweets to anyone who drops in between midday and 2pm. They shared a post on Facebook that read: “If you are alone, pop in for a hug and a mince pie! You don’t have to buy anything, we are family.” This is not the first time the Patels have opened their store on the festive holiday. He said they had the idea after an elderly lady called Dot, who passed away last year, came into their shop just before Christmas, telling them a man posing as a gas fitter had stolen from her. Deepen’s older brother, Neeten, posted a warning on Facebook urging the local community to be extra cautious. To their surprise, people started arriving with gifts for Dot. “It was the best Christmas she ever had,”
As we can see, the message of Christmas is universal and revolves around bringing peace, harmony, and unity among all mankind.
In today’s world, plagued with pandemics, wars, destruction, poverty, and terrorism, such goodwill is necessary to maintain our good spirits. Christmas creates an atmosphere of kindness, brotherhood, and benevolence, and energizes society, which can sometimes seem indifferent to caring values.

But that doesn't mean that we're doomed. In fact, we can be pretty generous. And Christmas has the tremendous power to open up our hearts.
Did you know that nearly one-third (31%) of annual giving in the US occurs in December? The season is a huge deal for the nonprofit sector, driving billions of dollars in just a few days; around 12% of all giving happens in the last three days of the year.

A Christmas To Remember
Being from a poor family I can only understand how powerful such gesture must have felt
It's hard not to get into the Christmas season with all the festivities, lights, and music, regardless of our own religion or non-religion.
So as a wave of generosity engulfs the world, it's really heartwarming to see Christians and non-Christians alike giving to those less fortunate. Goodwill towards others and the simple sharing of joy and love with family and friends is something all of us hope for and can contribute to.
Way To Go To Save Trees
Two entrepreneurs started a side hustle renting Christmas trees to reduce the number that end up in landfill. Every January, they replant your tree back on their farm so you can rent it again next Christmas. When your tree hits 7 ft, it's retired and planted back in its original forest.
I looked for "two entrepreneurs rents Christmas trees and replants," online, and found one company that says, "if the customer likes the tree they rented - they can reserve the same tree again for next year." https://www.greentreeglossop.co.uk/how-it-works I think, this is a really fantastic idea! 🎄😊

I remember my last day of chemo. That was 16 years ago. I had some peach fuzz by Halloween. Went to a salon and asked for platinum blonde so nobody could miss it. They were reluctant and warned me of the risks, but so nice and did a great job. For the Halloween festivities, I dressed up like a rock star. Had it been Christmas, would have colored it red and green. You ARE a rock star and congrats!

My kid and I were homeless last spring when we fled abuse. He had taken my debit card and cut me off of our joint bank account and hobbled my car. I thought he would kill me if I didn't leave. In September, with a lot of help from my family and social services, I bought a house! My ex still hasn't paid most of the money from the divorce settlement and consistently skipped child support payments. I was sad knowing that I couldn't afford presents this year. My kid's school sent her home with a gigantic bag of presents for winter break. I'm excited for her to open them!
Well done to you for being so incredibly brave. You and your child deserve so much better, and you're going in the right direction. Many wishes to you and your little one, for many happy, safe and prosperous years.

Adding this: Kid walking down the street where my in-laws live. Can't be more than 8-10 years old. He was stopping at every single house on the street to deliver a card and a candy cane. So nobody's left out. I want to elect him president of the US.
May not be a best card I've done, but I want to share it with you. Christmas-...5888b5.jpg
