Thanks, Arlene! I think that acts of kindness are sometimes even better than money, because you get the pleasure of helping someone. Most of us could be more organized in this area – I know I could too! Giving doesn’t have to be restricted to the holiday season.

A very inspiring post. Those of us who can should. Not always with dollars as you remind us, but with those acts of kindness like you suggest. It is such a simple thing really and when you see the look of appreciation in someone’s eyes, especially, the lonely elderly, it is the most wonderful feeling. I need to be more organized in this area and this post has helped me to refocus. Thank you, Michelle.

I so enjoy riding or walking through light displays, but yes, like you, I’ve never seen a Christmas hippo wearing a tutu before. lol!
Thanks for sharing the pics and the message or helping good charities.
I volunteer for Walkin’ N Circles Horse Rescue when I can. I wish I could find a Horse Therapy Program around here for me to participate in. Until my knee is 100% I could benefit, I think. What a wonderful program.

Merry Christmas to you and enjoy your warm weather

You are right, with the holiday lights, sometimes you can imagine it is a winter wonderland! Great organizations – thanks for sharing them!

The decorations are unique that’s for sure. I like the girl feeding her horse and the hippo in a tutu. You’re right about contributing time or money, it’s a great tradition to start even if you’ve not done it in the past. Even in these times if it’s not financially possible to do something there’s always time to volunteer your time and services. You’re a kind and loving person to help out when you can and we can all take a lesson from you.

Merry Christmas and may Santa bring you happiness and all you’ve asked for this year.

Love the winter wonderland of Florida! And your idea that giving can be done even in the worst of financial times. We all have time and energy and something to offer. Happy holidays!

You sure have a kind heart and animal-loving spirit! I hope you have a great holiday! We finally made it to Florida so we will hopefully be enjoying Florida’s balmy Christmas! Not too balmy yet!

I have always wondered what it would be like to live in an area that is sunny and very warm during the holidays! I don’t always get a white Christmas, but we definitely get the cold, wet and dreary weather that seem to go along well with Christmas.
That is so great that you started that tradition! You are amazing!!
