Hello lovely
I can’t believe it’s this time of year again, my favourite time of year… time to spread a little festive kindness around our homes, workplaces, schools, and communities.
Yippeeeee!!
Unfortunately, I’ve not been too well recently. My Chronic Fatigue Syndrome symptoms have been flaring up left, right and centre, and as I write this, I’m on bedrest while I recover. But I’ll still try to spread as much kindness as I possibly can, and hopefully I’ll feel well enough to venture outside soon.
If you’ve joined me in spreading a little festive kindness before, I’d like to say a huge…
Thank you!
You really are amazing. I mean that.
I know that the acts of kindness we do make a huge difference and help to brighten others’ day, as well as our own. I also think that particularly during these times of trouble and turmoil, it’s such a beautiful way to show there is still oodles of good in the world.
So, on that note, I’d like to invite lovely you and yours to join me spreading a little kindness again this year.
For anyone new to my Kindness Advent Calendars, I would like to give you a big warm welcome.
I’m so happy you stopped by. I can safely say that we’re going to have a whole lot of festive fun this year.
To recap, my Kindness Advent Calendar works just like a normal advent calendar but instead of the usual chocolate countdown, we are embracing the true spirit of Christmas by doing 24 random acts of festive kindness.

Kindness Advent Calendar for KIDS
I received so much positive feedback from parents and teachers about my Kindness Advent Calendar for Kids, I thought I’d do one another this year.
It’s such a fun and easy way for teachers and parents to get children involved in spreading a little kindness in the lead up to Christmas, and a lovely way of showing children what a positive impact they can have on the world.

Non-Advent Calendars
Over the years, I’ve been asked to create a generic, non-advent Kindness Calendars, one for grown ups and kids, and include this year’s here:
Kindness Calendar December 2019:
KIDS Kindness Calendar December 2019:
I know December can be an extra busy month for most of us, and we can find ourselves rushing around trying to get everything ready in time for the Christmas holiday. With that in mind, I’ve made the acts on my Kindness Calendars quick, easy and cheap (well, most of them are free!). So anyone and everyone can join in.
You may want to mix it up and swap the acts around, adapt the acts to suit you, or even change them for your own kindness acts. And don’t worry if you can’t do an act of kindness every single day, sometimes it’s just not possible as I know too well with the nature of my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome flare ups.
But even if every one of us manages to do just one kindness act on one day this month – imagine how amazing that would be!
Every single extra act of kindness counts, and together we are making the world a kinder place. So let’s get as many people as we can involved and share this with family, friends, work colleagues, classmates… and share all over social media 🙂
And don’t forget to join me on my kindness community page ‘Spreading A Little Kindness’ on Facebook, and if you post about your kindness act, please use the hashtag #KindnessCalendar so we can all keep track of all the wonderful kindness we are sharing.
Wishing you a Dazzling December and a FAB-YULE-OUS festive season, and let’s remember to be kinder to ourselves as well, we are definitely worth it!
Thank you so much for spreading a little festive kindness.
I’m so sorry you haven’t been feeling well, Helen. I am hoping for a better 2020 for you. XO
Hey Korby, I always look forward to hearing from you 🙂 Thank you so much for your well wishes, I feel I’m making slow and steady progress, despite it sometimes being 1 step forward two steps back. I WILL get there. Hope all is well with you, have a wonderful festive season and a fantastic 2020 ♡
I am so sorry that you haven’t been feeling well, Helen. Sending lots of positive vibes and healing energy your way!
