Like invite someone who's on there own for dinner, or give something to someone less fortunate, or help out somewhere that needs it?

Yep !!

I gave my neighbours little boy age 6yrs an early Christmas pressy this afternoon as I'm going away tomorrow...... a Lego build toy...... as he lost his Daddy this summer in a terrible accident...

He was beginning to get thoughts of his Daddy as he would at this time of the year, so I had to go in town and buy him a Lego present as he's mad about them ....but to see his face light up when giving him this present was priceless !!

I can honestly say it bought tears to my eyes .....but I felt good .... he ran home delighted waving it around for ALL to see ... :-D

Not me Lynda, himself and I will be together for the first time in a long time.

However, I do support people throughout the year so I can't feel bad about enjoying Christmas day selfishly.

Stephen has mentioned what he does before and I am in total admiration for the work he does for the less fortunate.

For me this Christmas, charity will begin at home. Several of my family have problems at the moment and I and 'im indoors are going to go all out to give them a good Christmas, cheer them up and bring smiles to their faces.

Hopefully, fingers crossed :-D <3
