My friend had this GREAT idea for Christmas. Someone asked her if she was doing anything for the children for Christmas. Of course, hating children, she said no, they get enough, darn it. Everyone thought she was evil.
But instead, she is:
Buying about 10-20 puzzles at yard sales ($1-$2 a piece!)
Buying over 100 soft candies
Buying stuffed animals at sales as well
... and going to a Retirement home! She said to me, "Who thinks of the old people on Christmas?! They're so happy to see someone and their children don't even visit."
So I've decided this is also what I'm going to do this year. At most I'll spend about $80 and make 40+ senior people really happy on a day where nobody would even give them a call to see if they're still alive.
It never occurred to me to do this, so I thought it might not occur to anyone else... so maybe help out your local elderly... and give grandma Iris a call this year, hm?
