Give an old or lonely person a present

Merry Christmas in advance to everyone who reads this blog :-)

My suggestion for niceness this Christmas is this: almost all of us know of an old person or housebound person in the street, who will be lonely this Christmas. Go out and buy them a present and drop it off, nicely wrapped up :-) Or even just give them a Christmas card. I am absolutely certain it will brighten their day huge amounts.

Of course the next stage up for that is if you want to, invite them over for Christmas! They might say no, but they might be thrilled and come and have a lovely time. Obviously only invite people who aren't axe-murderers :-)

Or if you don't know anyone local, go and buy a nice shareable present and give it to the local care home/nursing home to be shared amongst the residents. I'm sure there will be lonely people in those places too and that a present would just make their day.

And again - Merry Christmas everyone!
