25 Days of Giving
This is one of my favourite advent activities. For the past three years, we have brightened the lives of others during the Christmas season by putting the focus on giving, sharing, caring and love. I know that over the years, we have made the season of giving special for those around us. There are families in our community in need, there are people who are lonely and there are friends who could use some cheer. Plan you 25 days and show someone the love of a kind gesture this holiday season. Here are a few ideas.
1. Make your Christmas countdown meaningful. Shop your neighbourhood #shoplocal
2. Give Blood
3. Participate in Eggs.ca Heart for Africa helping feed a hungry world with nutritious sustainable eggs. http://www.eggfarmers.ca/heartforafrica/
4. Support the snowsuit Fund - some locations are accepting gently used and new snow gear - http://snowsuitfund.com/support-us/
5. Do a wagon food drive in your neighbourhood for your local foodbank
6. Particpate in the shoebox project - http://www.shoeboxproject.com/home.html
7. Bake some cookies for your neighbour, a friend, or a family who could use some home made holiday baking!

Nice post http://www.selfcarinsurance.com
The most unique way to celebrate Friendship Day would be hold a gathering for your favorate images,quotes,hd wallpapers,messages,pics,photos and many more... Be that as it may, this thought needs a touch of arranging and exertion as you have to choose where to post(facebook,whatssapp,twitter,instagrame etc..) Once that is done, ring your pals and simply have your indulgence !
