The Season of Giving.

December 05, 2025

It's the Season of Giving...

lots of love, joy and hugs. 

Here are 5 joyful ideas to do with loved ones:

1. Connect to loved ones. To someone who needs some extra love. Elderly, college students, old friends, someone who is going through trials and tribulations - whoever you haven't chatted with in awhile. If someone pops in your head... that's the person! Send a text, email, letter, gift... or take some time for a good old phone call to hear their voice in real time.

2. Bake together. Lots of holiday traditions and memories are made at home. Making cookies is one of them! Try these joyful healthy recipes. 

3. Volunteer. If you have been wanting to volunteer but having a hard time figuring out the best match or where, check out this site.

4. Plan future trips. It's always nice to have things to look forward to... so make a plan and make an experience happen! It doesn't have to be fancy or exotic, just something that everyone will enjoy and cherish. Checkout this app.

5. Virtual hug someone. We can make this happen with a Hug Box gift box filled with local artisan products. You will be supporting many small businesses that are striving to stay afloat. So many gifts in one! Shop hugs here.

6. Go to a holiday event in the community. Checkout your local community on social media. Here is a list for my fellow Newnan, Georgia neighbors:
