12 days of kindness ...

It's the 12th of December... In jade world that can only mean one thing.... It's time to start the 12 days of Christmas kindness!! 

I started Doing the 12 days of Christmas kindness a couple of years ago and I love it! I do an act of kindness for someone everyday between now and Christmas! I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be well enough to do it this year but thankfully I am! 

I normally plan my Christmas kindness acts in advance but this year I haven't been as well prepared so I'm having to wing it a little ..(anyone who has ever had to work with me will know that I spend a large amount of my life just winging it!) 

So today I wrapped up a box of malteasers .. I originally bought two boxes but I ate one!! .. And posted them through the door of one of my elderly neighbours. The couple that live there are just so sweet and lovely and the way they care for each other after like 70 years of marriage just warms my heart!! I stuck a cute label on the box too :) 

The twelve days of Christmas kindness always helps me feel super Christmassy and it reminds me of what Christmas is all about... Giving. ... Jesus Christ was the gift to the world .. He was the greatest gift and for that I am truly thankful. 12 days of Christmas kindness helps me to kept the CHRIST in Christmas. 

Speaking of kindness this week I left the school where I have worked for the past two and a half years... It was a pretty emotional experience. It is a wonderful school and it has been a wonderful place to work! I made some great friends there some of whom I know will remain my friends for years to come! Saying goodbye to them was very sad and it made me cry ..(thankfully not enough to ruin my makeup!!) .. In an act of super kindness they bought me a leaving gift ... A giraffe charm for my pandora bracelet... I LOVE giraffes!!! They were the best and kindest team I have ever had the opportunity to work with!! They were deffo the dream team!!!

The world is full of opportunities to do good and to make someone's day... Just like a giraffe charm!!!!
