Advent Day 2

Hello! Welcome to day two of my Christmas countdown! Yesterday for my random act of kindness I called a friend who’s been having a very hard time lately to listen and cheer them up. I appreciated reading about Sarah K. and bn100′s recent acts of kindness so much that I’m going to give them both $5 Amazon gift cards. Keep up the great work!

For those of you who missed yesterday’s post, I’m dedicating myself to perform a random act of kindness every day leading up to Christmas and I’d like to hear about random acts of kindness you perform for others. Together let’s help share the spirit of the holiday! A random act of kindness can be anything, no matter how small, such as letting someone else in line in front of you or spending time listening to a friend who needs someone to talk to. There are all kinds of things you can do without spending a dime that will still make a difference in someone’s life today. I will be giving away prizes and goodies this year. Also, I’m looking for suggestions of an act of kindness I can do for a person or organization that will cap off my season of random acts. The person who submits the suggestion that I ultimately follow will also receive a very special gift. So, please, comment below and tell me what nice thing you’ve done for someone and what nice thing you think I should do for someone or something. Together let’s see how many lives we can touch this season!!

One of my favorite Christmas songs is the Little Drummer Boy. My favorite rendition of it is by Whiteheart. Today I’m going to gift the song via iTunes to five people who leave comments on this post. I think this song is a perfect example of the spirit of Christmas and demonstrates that some of the greatest gifts are gifts of time, love, and talent.
