I saw this on another blog and thought it was such a cute idea. I'm a little late getting started so I may double up a couple of days. The idea is to get the Christmas season started off on the right foot. You complete one challenge each day. It's really a great way to go about your day, even if it's not the Christmas season.
Here are the challenges:
- go out of your way-- befriend someone today that needs a friend and follow through to Christmas
- tell someone you love them
- make a tree decoration that will remind you of Christ
- in your prayers today, give thanks for every blessing without asking for anything
- try to be as kind as possible to others today
- try not to quarrel with family members today
- do a good deed anonymously
- make goals for yourself-- seal a copy in an envelope to be opened in a year
- visit someone sick or lonely or sad
- do volunteer work for some worthy cause
- do something fun for a child or younger sibling
- try to forgive someone who has wronged you, be reconciled
- make a "give list" instead of a list of gifts you'd like
- improve yourself in some way to please the Savior
- quietly reflect and choose uplifting activities vs shopping
- phone or send a card to an old friend or family member
- listen to Handel's Messiah
- make a Christmas treat for someone else
- be a calming influence today and control your temper
- accept the gift of forgiveness-- pray for some weakness and ask for help in repenting of it
- look at Christmas lights... where does all light come from?
- sing carols
- do something nice for someone without their knowing it was you
- be the first to say hello to people all day
- ask someone to tell you about a past Christmas
Merry Christmas!
