From November 15-December 24, the Church marks a forty-day period of preparation for the Feast of the Nativity. During this season, many of us spend lots of time shopping for things for people we are close to. As we are thinking of gifts for the season, one great way to honor someone is simply by saying “Thank you” for what they mean in your life. Long after a gift is used, the sentiment of thanks will be remembered. So, here is a challenge for this Nativity season. Call or send a short note, text, email, or card to forty different people—one person a day (or if you write one card a day, you can mail them all our right before Christmas). This is not just a “Merry Christmas” but a few sincere sentences about what someone means to you.
Please open the attachment by clicking HERE and print it out so you can keep track of who you’ve thanked this Nativity season.
