12 Days of Holiday Joy: Day 1

The holiday time can be such a time of excitement, joy and memories. For some it is hard to always get into that spirit for many reasons. Family is far away, you are over stressed with end of the year deadlines, kids schedules, too many parties to go to or you just cannot finish your holiday shopping.

 Over the next few weeks I will be discussing 12 things you can do to incorporate holiday joy into your holiday season with friends and family that do not take alot of time or money and will fill you with feelings of love, friendship and hopefully that joy that you are missing. 

First, head to Pinterest and find me Charging You Up or click on the Pinterest button on my homepage. You will see the 12 Days of Holiday Joy board. All 12 posts will be there so you can pin them and share with others. Are you with me? Ok

Day #1 Buy for someone you do not know. 

That's right. Think about a lonely neighbor you have never met met but you know does not get visitors or how about contributing to a Toys for Tots collection in your community for children in need this holiday. Buy a gift for someone who you know needs it more and would appreciate it greatly. It could be a inspirational book or a batch of your favorite holiday cookies. It does not have to be expensive or big at all, it is the thought that counts. You will feel satisfaction knowing you put a smile on someones face that day and good that you took the time to give back to someone else.  

Find me on Pinterest and let's get into the holiday spirit in 12 days! RE-PIN if you are in!
