12 Days of Christmas Giving

Gift Giving - Twelve Days of Christmas

Have you ever celebrated the 12 Days of Christmas in giving?

Open up your gratitude attitude by giving more this season. Instead of just one day of giving to others, pick twelve days this season and one special person on your list who gives more than you ever dreamed and give that person something back. There are several ways to give. Combine one or all!

Anonymously - you don’t tell, and they’ll never know. You can simply give gifts secretly, either via email or via other means, sharing your best gifts and not telling anyone what you’re doing. Just smile and nod when your friend tells you about receiving something ‘again’.

Joyfully - with childish exuberance. Have you ever seen a child after they’ve found a way to give something special? They watch with glistening eyes as their gift is opened and appreciated. Open up your heart and accept the appreciation when you give a gift. Let it all sink deep inside and warm your spirit.

Spiritually - prayerfully offer up your gift. Allow God to fulfill a need with your gift, by selecting carefully, after much prayer, a gift that will be deeply appreciated and fulfill a need. This may include a meal, a helping hand, a warm coat, or more. Open up your spirit to the needs of others. Gratefully - acknowledge all the great and wonderful things your friend has accomplished this last year, especially if they were done for you. Give from your heart, an open armed heart warming gift of appreciation, and you’ll be amazed at the value of the gift.

Flamboyantly - announce it to the world that you’re giving this gift to your friend and why. Tell everyone what a wonderful person your friend is, and acknowledge their valuable input into life and community with a gift that recognizes their activities.

If you can’t imagine giving twelve wonderful gifts to one person, spread them around and find twelve wonderful people to whom you can offer something of value: your love.
