DAY TWENTY - Give First, Happy Hanukkah, Merry GIVE-mas, Santa news and more

Welcome to the podcast! We are on Day 20 - this is going by really fast!

Our topic today covers Giving to Others

Today we look at giving to others being a giving person is very special

Christmas can be a time of great excitement and mystery

We can't wait to see the gifts piled around the tree

We enjoy giving and receiving gifts

but what if there was a gift that did not come wrapped in a box with shiny christmas wrapping paper, no bow, and it didn't rattle around in the box when yo shook it?

Giving first before getting isn’t always easy us to understand when we are young.

When we give, we focus on others and today we are going to look at 4 ways that we can continue to be generous throughout the year.

1. The Joy of Giving

can you be just as happy giving a gift this year as you are receiving one?

when we find joy in giving we unlock joy in our lives

giving to others is not just a one day christmas event - it can be everyday

2. Share your Talents

Giving doesn't always require money, a store or a purchase - you can give something that nobody else can give - you are unique and special.

what is one thing you are awesome at doing - play the piano, write a poem? Be creative - because giving does not always cost money

3. Generous with Time

We love to do, what we love to do

when we put away the things that we want to do - like our phones, tablets and gaming - we create time for others

time is valuable because they don't make more of it

who can you give more of your time to?

4. Generous with Kindness

Be generous and kind with your words

your words can make people strong or weak

give back to others by building them up and making others around you important

Let's give our best this year, even if it does not come from a store
