It's that time of year. December has come and it's brought all of its joys, including Christmas. But what is the meaning of this special holiday? Is it the gifts under the tree, the lights in the windows, or the cards in the mail?

Christmas is the mass for Christ, the celebration of the birth of Jesus, a time for prayer, reflection, and service. But it can also be what you make of it.

To show you that there are plenty of different ways to have a wholesome Christmas, Bored Panda collected a list of the merriest moments that people have created for themselves and others. From decorating your prosthetics with your kid to serving meals for those in need, continue scrolling and check out the pics. They should start filling you up with festive mood pretty soon!

Bah humbug, that guy was a dıck! Even if you hate Christmas, you make some effort for the one you love. I'm Jewish yet I still cook all day on Christmas for my partner. You do it because it makes them happy.

Shasi and Pallu Patel, who own Meet and Deep Newsagents in Twickenham, London, will dress up in festive outfits, play carols and hand out free mince pies and sweets to anyone who drops in between midday and 2pm. They shared a post on Facebook that read: “If you are alone, pop in for a hug and a mince pie! You don’t have to buy anything, we are family.” This is not the first time the Patels have opened their store on the festive holiday. He said they had the idea after an elderly lady called Dot, who passed away last year, came into their shop just before Christmas, telling them a man posing as a gas fitter had stolen from her. Deepen’s older brother, Neeten, posted a warning on Facebook urging the local community to be extra cautious. To their surprise, people started arriving with gifts for Dot. “It was the best Christmas she ever had,”

As we can see, the message of Christmas is universal and revolves around bringing peace, harmony, and unity among all mankind.

In today’s world, plagued with pandemics, wars, destruction, poverty, and terrorism, such goodwill is necessary to maintain our good spirits. Christmas creates an atmosphere of kindness, brotherhood, and benevolence, and energizes society, which can sometimes seem indifferent to caring values.

But that doesn't mean that we're doomed. In fact, we can be pretty generous. And Christmas has the tremendous power to open up our hearts.

Did you know that nearly one-third (31%) of annual giving in the US occurs in December? The season is a huge deal for the nonprofit sector, driving billions of dollars in just a few days; around 12% of all giving happens in the last three days of the year.

It's hard not to get into the Christmas season with all the festivities, lights, and music, regardless of our own religion or non-religion.

So as a wave of generosity engulfs the world, it's really heartwarming to see Christians and non-Christians alike giving to those less fortunate. Goodwill towards others and the simple sharing of joy and love with family and friends is something all of us hope for and can contribute to.

Way To Go To Save Trees

Way To Go To Save Trees

Two entrepreneurs started a side hustle renting Christmas trees to reduce the number that end up in landfill. Every January, they replant your tree back on their farm so you can rent it again next Christmas. When your tree hits 7 ft, it's retired and planted back in its original forest.

I looked for "two entrepreneurs rents Christmas trees and replants," online, and found one company that says, "if the customer likes the tree they rented - they can reserve the same tree again for next year." https://www.greentreeglossop.co.uk/how-it-works I think, this is a really fantastic idea! 🎄😊

Spiders are our friends! Only a very few are dangerous to us. They control harmful and bothersome bugs. Sure, it's no fun bungling into a spiderweb - but the benefits greatly outweigh the drawbacks!

I approve. Never gave my spiders a tree, but I used to put the occasional fly we’d swatted into their webs. As long as they stay out of the way and don’t lay egg sacs, spiders are safe in my house during the winter. Once the weather starts to warm they have to go outside, though.

I remember my last day of chemo. That was 16 years ago. I had some peach fuzz by Halloween. Went to a salon and asked for platinum blonde so nobody could miss it. They were reluctant and warned me of the risks, but so nice and did a great job. For the Halloween festivities, I dressed up like a rock star. Had it been Christmas, would have colored it red and green. You ARE a rock star and congrats!

My Newly-Found Grandmother And The Christmas Birthday Cake We Had Made For Her

My Newly-Found Grandmother And The Christmas Birthday Cake We Had Made For Her

My mother is adopted and recently (three years ago) found her biological family. Throughout her search for them, I kind of subconsciously considered it her thing - her parents, her family - and it wasn’t until she found them and they welcomed us with open arms that I realized it affected me too. I come from a very small family so it was overwhelming to suddenly have a whole new set of grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins, etc. Anyway, my new grandmother’s birthday is on Christmas Day, and unlike some other Christmas birthday people who prefer to keep their birthdays separate from the holiday, she is totally Christmas obsessed (like me!) and leans into it. This is the cake we had made for her the first year we met them.

My Son Gave Me A Super Old Laptop For Christmas So I Can Play My Favorite Game Of All Time

I can’t play it properly on a modern PC - it’s almost impossible to place roads without them going all over the screen. Even when we try slowing the mouse movement speed it didn’t resolve this problem.

I feel your pain! My all-time favorites are Eye of the Beholder I and II, and Legend: Four Crystals of Trazere. They don't run properly on anything above Windows 3.1.

They knew how much I love Star Wars. It is from the 1999 Pepsi/Albertsons raffle give away. I am blown away.

This obviously made someone really happy. It would not make ME happy, but I do not matter with regard to this, lol. This would be an amazing gift for the right person!
