First Christmas Card...

...that's what I'm sending you on this first day of December and the season of Christmas.
In case it's a little hard to read:

This Christmas,

mend a quarrel.

Seek out a forgotten friend.

Dismiss suspicion and replace it with trust.

Write a letter.

Give a soft answer.

Encourage youth.

Manifest your loyalty in word and deed.

Keep a promise.

Forgive a grudge.

Forgive an enemy.

Apologize.

Try to understand.

Examine your demands on others.

Think first of someone else.

Be kind.

Be gentle.

Laugh a little more.

Express your gratitude.

Welcome a stranger.

Gladden the heart of a child.

Take pleasure in the beauty and wonder of the earth.

Speak your love and then speak it again.

Thanks to Brother Livingstone for sharing this with me. I think this is a wonderful gift list we can give to all this season and always. Sent with love.
