Today I'm going to talk about being an elf. I'm not an actual elf... technically I'm unemployed and don't even work for Santa... but I'm elf trained. These are some simple ways to spread some holiday cheer... without singing loud for all to hear because that makes me a little bit nervous... not gonna lie.
My mom is a very nice person and she always wraps my presents up every Christmas. She has arthritis though, and after we get home from our Christmas Eve dinner at my Nana's she's often tired and wraps presents on top of that. I already have my Christmas Presents from my parents and I know what they are... so last night when she and my dad left the house... I thought maybe she needed help from an elf, so I decided to help her. I wrapped up my presents... didn't tell her about it until she got home.
Another thing is get little things for people if you know they would like something. I stopped at 5 below to get some little solar powered shakeys for my grandmothers. I know that they like the shakeys and they're really cute... so that will put a smile on their faces.
Also just be extra nice to everyone during the holidays. Employees working at malls, friends, family... holidays can be especially hard for people, so even if maybe they aren't being that nice to you... put it aside and show some extra love and generosity. Tip people with some generosity if you have the means and someone is providing a service for you... just little things like that can really help make the spirits bright.
Helping someone clean, bringing the groceries in, taking out the trash... things like that can also be a bigger help than you would think. It's a nice thing to do anyway if you live with your parents... but you know, around the holidays it might be especially helpful.
And these will help you feel better around Christmas also. Once you're kind and smile to one person.... you'll want to do it all day. Being an Elf is wayyyy more fun than you'd think!
Byeee!
