Let’s Spread Some Good Ol’ Holiday Cheer–
Unfortunately, it’s easy for a season founded upon gratitude and giving to devolve into a time of greed and selfishness-especially for kids focused on the gifts they’ll receive under theChristmas tree. But despite that truth, it’s also fairly easy to shift your kids’ focus away from themselves and toward others. By getting them involved in their local (and broader) community, your children are sure to have a greater appreciation for the true reason for this season. Get the whole family into the holiday spirit by trying one (or more) of these nine simple-but effective-volunteer and charitable ideas.
