I'd love to see the holiday tradition where people ask "What did you give for Christmas?" would warm the cockles
One of my LJ friends volunteered to paint Christmas snowmen and kids and packages on the front windows of the library she works for, to liven it up. She's a good artist. When an elderly woman who visits the library asked if she'd do that (for pay) on the windows of her nursing home, she did, for free. AND the library employees gave hand-made personalized cards to all the elderly folks who tend to spend a LOT of time at her library. One man chocked up, said it was his best present that year. Just being though of and remembered. (Now I'm getting choked up!)
