- BY MONIQUE HOWARD -<br />

Whether it’s the simple act of holding the door for a senior citizen<br />

or helping a stranger who’s down and out, daily compassion transcends<br />

the holiday joviality that inspires giving. It’s one of the most<br />

beautiful aspects of human nature. Smile more and lend a helping<br />

hand whenever you can. These actions can inspire what all people<br />

seek in life– happiness.<br />

Volunteering at homeless shelters, participating in food and<br />

toy drives are some of the best ways to usher in the holiday spirit<br />

by providing hope and letting those in need know that they are not<br />

alone or forgotten.<br />

As the family gathers around the dinner table to enjoy a holiday<br />

meal, they will have the satisfaction of knowing someone else<br />

is doing the same because they helped make it happen. A holiday<br />

tradition will become an everyday practice that will last a lifetime. In<br />

life, the season of giving never ends, and one of the greatest traditions<br />

to pass on to the next generation is the joy of helping others.<br />
