Each day of the holiday break we (our family) try to read a story or watch a short video to help set the proper tone and nurture the Christmas spirit in our home. Today I would like to share 2 examples or resources with you that I am pretty excited about.
The first I just read this morning is an inspiring story of a very unusual thing that happened when a person went back to help a homeless man for the holidays. The homeless man turned out to be an undercover angel. (I suspect most homeless people are.) He, the homeless man, ended up paying the rent of the person who offered to help him. Good stuff.
To read and be inspired simply click the text below. We will be reading it as a family tonight to help nurture the Christmas spirit.

The next resource is a video with no dialogue of some pretty simple acts of service, that tell a very old story in a modern setting, set to a wonderful rendition of a popular Christmas song sung by the incredible Mormon Tabernacle Choir. We have already watched this as a family more than once and we have discussed how wonderful it makes us feel. The 2nd time we watched it we noticed some pretty fun little details. (spoiler alert, NOPE)
I hope you enjoy both and the holidays. I will only be sending a few T4D’s out over the next two weeks as I intend to give most of my focus to my family.
Merry Christmas to each of you… Kirk
