DAY 17....'SPREADING HOLIDAY CHEER'

DAY 17...'SPREADING HOLIDAY 

   CHEER'

Day 17.....Purchase a few silly hats or headpieces from a dollar store. Give them out to family members, friends and acquaintances to wear. 

         

           FOR YOU

Day 17... Go out in a silly holiday hat or head piece for the day. Have fun. 

There are cute holiday hats and head wear you can find at a dollar store. I have a few that I have purchased. My favorite are the headbands that have snowman or reindeer antlers.  They go well with different holiday shirts.  Those receiving them can get a chuckle as they put them on to wear.  Take photos if possible of those you give them to; give them copy of the picture. This is a fun act of cheer that will make even the Grinchiest or Scroogiest person smile. 

Put on your silly hat or head piece when you go out for the day.  Wear a Christmas sweater or shirt to go with the hat. Don't pay attention to the looks from people just smile and say Merry Christmas.  

I donated toiletries to a place collecting for homeless.  Also they had box set up for food so I donated a few items also.  What more can I say about donating? Once you do it gives you a feeling of happiness inside that you are doing for others. 

I took the cards I received to date from the basket where they were put. First I looked at the picture on the front; then opened it to read the sender's name.  Finally I read the verse within.  I reflected on the meaning of what the words meant to me; as well as what the sender thought when they choose that card to send me. Did they just pick a card out of a box of cards? Did they read what the words inside?  I am an optimist that the sender picked that particular card just for me. 

So until tomorrow have a grea day enjoy wearing your silly hat. 

I am working on another Christmas memory story. Stay tuned to read in the next few days. I call this "A Hand Me Down Christmas".
