10 Random Acts Of Kindness That Will Stop You From Grinching Out This Christmas

In This Article:

The Christmas season is a time to spread kindness to ones you know and to those you do not. We should all try to remember it's not just about the gifts you get, but the love you give. Sometimes it's hard to not be a grinch but with these acts of kindness, you'll stay far from turning green!

1. Pay it forward 

If you're in the Starbucks line, Taco Bell line or any drive-thru for that matter, pay for the person's items behind you. I'm sure it'll make their day and keep them smiling.

2. Become the "Cake Boss"

Bake some cookies or cupcakes and give them to your friends! Hand them out to everyone! I mean who doesn't have a sweet tooth?!?

3. Stick up some positivity

Buy some sticky notes and write some sunshine filled messages on them. Hang them up in random places and I'm sure they'll warm up someone's heart.

4. Help the homeless

Collect some scarves and gloves and give them to the homeless or leave them places where you have seen them. No one deserves to be cold this Christmas season.

5. Hide some dollars around the dollar store

I saw this act of kindness idea online recently and I thought it was cool. Just hide some dollar bills around a dollar store and some lucky finder who needs it will be blessed.

6. Give your waiter/waitress a generous tip!

Be extra generous and give them a few more dollars then you should once you calculate that tip! They are always working hard.

7. Buy dessert for someone eating alone 

It always makes me sad to see a little old man or woman eating out by themselves or anyone really. Send a dessert to their table to know the don't have to be alone this Christmas.

8. SMILE!

When you're out and about, just send smiles peoples way. Smiles can always have an impact on someone's day.

9. Compliment someone 

Nothing feels better than a random compliment you weren't expecting. Build someone's confidence this season.

10. Candy cane bomb

Put candy canes on the windshields of all of the cars in a parking lot or put them in random mailboxes! Just a little tasty surprise.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
