I like this
holiday! It’s a great way to kick off the holiday season—if you don’t count
Thanksgiving as part of The Holidays.
This is a new
holiday, created in 2012, to be a US holiday. However, by 2013, it had become
international, spreading to Australia, Mexico, and Canada. Other countries,
including the UK have signed on this year.
If you live in
England, here are 10 ways to participate without spending any cash! I wish I could find a list like this for the US.
To extend the
giving tradition, today is designated at National Roof Over Your Head Day. The idea is to be
grateful for the roof you have over your own head, while also taking time to
volunteer at a homeless shelter, or pick a name off a Christmas Angel Tree.
Here’s an extra
heads up. Tomorrow is National Cookie Day! Maybe the idea is to reward yourself
for being kind on the two days before.
