In December our tradition is to use the Kindness Elves for 12 Days of Christmas Kindness between the 13th-24th, finishing just before Christmas day itself (but of course you could start and finish on whatever dates suit your family).
Why do we suggest just using the Kindness Elves for just 12 days? Well, we are a normal family just like yours and know that the busyness of the season sometimes adds up to too much extra pressure, and can quickly turn something that is supposed to be a fun tradition into one extra burden at an already over-packed time of year!
12 days is much more manageable and keeps enthusiasm levels high and also means you can get some of the other Christmas preparations done before you get started!

Each morning the Kindness Elves are found somewhere in the house (or classroom) with an act of kindness note card suggesting something to do together that day. For example, “let’s fill this box for the food bank and deliver it together” or “let’s make cookies and hand them out to the neighbours!”
The idea is to combine some typical Christmas family activities with acts of kindness to extend the children’s world view and help them to see the needs of those around them, while also having lots of fun and making memories!
This wonderful little eBook is designed as a go-to resource for super simple, achievable ideas for activities and acts of kindness to do together during the 12 Days of Christmas.
