Daily "Random Acts" Service Advent Calendar and Printable!

Daily "Random Acts" Service Advent Calendar and Printable!

I love December, I love Christmas, I love thinking of others.
There is really such a change in the air.

People are 'generally' kinder.  (minus Black Friday and our frenzy for accumulation)

But there is a very sweet atmosphere around the holidays.

I try to encourage my kids to do secret service for others throughout the year...but 

it is a little easier in December.

 I love to be able to do service.  It is easy to feel like we can't serve others without spending money...

so I compile ways to serve others that take little (like a stamp) or no money.

 

 Here's some ideas:

 

Write a note

Leave a note or treat for the mail carrier

Donate gently used toys and clothes to charity

Say thank you more

Put some motivational notes up in public restrooms or on mirrors

Play a game with someone

Leave a secret not for someone to find

Sing a song to brighten the day

Compliment someone you see today

Offer to babysit for free for someone

Make cookies for the neighbors

Smile at everyone you see today

Shovel or do yard work for a neighbor

Take a thankful note to a teacher

Help clean the house without being asked

Call a customer service number just to say thank you

(we like to pick the numbers on cookie or cracker boxes)

Pick up litter outside

Make a list of 10 things you are thankful for

Write a note and leave it under someone's pillow

Give someone a hug

Message 3 people a genuine compliment

Call and chat with someone that might be lonely

Do a random act for someone in your house

Put your phone or media down

Be Present

Tell a joke or make a pun

Do the dishes and sing link you are in a musical

Leave a nice comment on the internet

Do something to make someone smile

Do a small service for someone

Be Awesome.

If you do these kinds of things all month long, it will
be a much more meaningful holiday season.
Happy December!
