On the 7th day before Christmas...

Today, I was trying to think of a way to spread some Christmas cheer so on my way to the post office, I stopped at a florist and bought some flowers to give to the postal worker that helps me today. The lady at the florist was going to re-wrap the flowers and I stopped her because they were in a nice Christmas plastic and I told her what I was doing with them. She and another customer loved the idea. I wasn't telling them for recognition but so maybe they might decide to RACK someone too. It also made them feel warm and fuzzy too to know that I was doing it Just Because (like my book).
I was actually a little nervous standing in line at the post office. It was clear that the people in the long line were wondering what the flowers were for but no one asked. Inside, I am still a very shy person so it made me nervous to do it which is silly. She smiled and said thank you. I think she was a little taken aback. As we finished, she thanked me again and seemed very grateful. 


You've been RACK'd! Random Acts of Christmas Kindness!

Feel free to share this post starting today to spread holiday kindness 
for the 12 days before Christmas.

PLEASE share with me what kindness you've spread each day 
here on the Flip Side. Give people ideas big or small. 

I want to hear about the nice things you are doing. Post ideas for others. Let's spread the cheer!

buying flowers for a postal worker at the post office and gave it to them when I sent a Christmas package to my brother-in-law. 


On the 8th day before Christmas, we were given some holiday cheer by....being unexpectedly invited to see Santa even though there were no more appointments available for the day, being given Christmas pins by an little old man in church this morning and being given a Santa coin so my daughter could get a little toy she wanted.

I painted on our mirror a note to our children wishing them a Merry Christmas and how special they are to us.

Amber, even when the mirror is wiped clean, your kids will see your message there all their lives. Those are the moments that turn crumbling stones into bricks of mortar!

My daughter came home from university yesterday and I had all her favorite fruits waiting for her on the kitchen island to snack on (except I ate more of it than her!).

Enjoy your daughter. I will have to hold on to these moments. Thanks, Vesna.
