Simplify holiday chaos with good deeds

December 1, 2007

Holiday commercialization and chaos got you wondering what the season is really all about?

Do you or your family look for a spiritual lift in the midst of the holiday craze?

Find good deeds that echo the true meaning of the holiday:

• Donate time at shelters, soup kitchens or other charitable activities
• Bake or purchase gifts for needy families
• "Adopt" a grandparent-visit a nursing home alone or with a group
• Write cards to soldiers or lonely neighbors

Doing kind things will give your mental health a much-needed boost this holiday season. Time spent helping others not only benefits them, but you, too, will benefit by gaining a renewed perspective on what really matters.
