Thank you for this. Your own story coupled with the so-important message is a real heart -opener! In past years our family has prepared and served meals, delivered packaged meals to home bound elderly and donated our toys to children.

Wow, that was a really moving story and post. I love the idea of the holiday gratitude party. You know, I've been loving my boss today cause instead of a holiday party, she is taking all of us to the food bank with our kids and having them do a special tour for our little ones so they can better understand how to help others in need. I feel so lucky not just to have work but to work for someone like her. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

Every year I organise a get together to write cards to Amnesty International Prisoners of Conscience which is a great feeling afterwards. Thanks for all the good suggestions of other ways to give though.

Pema – This is an amazing and beautiful post. I could actually feel the heavy grief you felt that Christmas after losing your brother and the grace that came by giving what little you had. You have a wonderful family & I wish you all the best. I really love the idea of a holiday gratitude party! We'll have to try that for sure. Thank you!

FYI – If you Google “adopt a family, Christmas,” and insert your city's name at the end – you should come up with listings for this great Salvation Army program. Do it now!

this is so grace-full. Really and truly inspires me. Every year we say we're going to spend Christmas working in the soup kitchen – and don't. I do some last minute gifting to a shelter, but it's just not enough. Thanks for this – it will inform our Christmas, for sure.

Pema- Thank you for this. Your own story coupled with the so-important message is a real heart -opener! In past years our family has prepared and served meals, delivered packaged meals to home bound elderly and donated our toys to children. My children stand a foot taller after those times. Thanks for the reminder that the time to give is NOW.
