'Tis The Season they say...

(~*~)   ~ DONATION-DAZE ~   (~*~)
Hello everyone,
Welcome to the last month of the year. I hope all is well with you and yours. I was happy to start this in 2012 (0312121122AMishC.E.S.), and to make it an official addition to my "Le Challenge"s/ events.

=
WHO:
Anyone.
WHY:
To practice giving of ourselves, while helping others - whenever we can.
WHEN:
December - all month.
WHAT:
Giving of ourselves is what's MOST important, and it's needed all year round. Whether it is our "excess"/ unwanted belongings, our help with something, or even some of our time/ attention. There are MANY ways that we can give.
My "TOP 10 List": 
10. Help a neighbor lift something heavy (gifts, groceries, etc...), figure something out/ find something, purge something, do a project, get out more, etc...
9. Bake with/ for a friend/ family member, or others/ a community event.
Ex. Sugar Skullian/ "Zombie" cookies
+
8. Promote other "Do Good" options for yourself and others to participate in.
Ex. I collected items for a local community centre, and dropped them off.
The information is in #7. (^&^)
+
7. Donate warm clothes, toys, books, &/or movies to a local community center.
Ex. Mill/ Courtland Community Centre is hosting:
"Community Angel Tree"
They collect donations of:
Hats, scarves, mitts, (winter jackets/ snow pants/ suits too I imagine. (^&^))
New clothes, pajamas, bath towels, toothbrushes, toys (sweaters, and socks too...)
Food, gift certificates, and cash donations also accepted.
Donations Accepted:
Monday, Dec.2nd, & Tuesday, Dec.3rd (2013).
+
6. Donate to your local food bank via any public event hosting it, or otherwise.
+
5. Donate your time like a "big sister/ big brother" to someone in need.
+
4. Donate your time to read/sing to sick kids/ the elderly.
+
3. Be more generous with yourself towards others (attention, attendance, patience, etc...).
+
2. Volunteer within your community.
+
1. Take in a "person in need" of shelter for a day, or a week. Your choice.
