Happy Holidays! This year I am trying something new in my gift giving. I was inspired by one of my favorite websites: Greater Good
http://greatergood.berkeley.edu/raising_happiness/post/giving_the_gift_of_generosity/
After reading about the value of giving, I decided to purchase everyone on my list the opportunity to GIVE to any charitable organization of their choice. www.TisBest.com made it very easy to do my holiday shopping. I can't wait to hear who my family members decided to GIVE to. Give the gift of giving to the ones you love and become part of something very meaningful.
Below are some additional suggestions to deepen the meaning of this wonderful season:
- Holiday Volunteering
- Holiday Recipes
- Holiday Decorating
- Holiday Stories
- Holiday Cards
- Holiday Gift Making
- Holiday Movie Making/Watching
Holiday Fun
Following is a list of some sites with activities you can do with your children while they are on break from school.
- The Northpole; Celebrating the Spirit of Santa; Welcome to Clause; Merry-Christmas; These sites have games, recipe’s calendars, naughty/nice charts and more.
- This is the official NORAD Santa Tracking site.
- Hanukat; Torah Tots; Children’s Judaica - These sites have Hanukkah (Chanukah) activities
- Elf Yourself - This website allows kids and adults to upload pictures of their faces, which then become the faces on the bodies of animated elves.
- Disney’s family fun website – Christmas Activities
- Design your own Gingerbread House
Warmly, Tricia
