Join us here with all your stories and photos as we countdown to Christmas. When it comes to Christmas Cheer we are All In! #AllinAdvent
All in Advent Window 24! (12/24/2019) – December 24, the last window of all. Tomorrow is Christmas when Santa does call. But before that is the window that’s most special of all, it’s the window to forgive the big and the small. Today, forgive. This may be the biggest window of all. To forgive someone may be one of the greatest challenges […]
All in Advent Window 22! (12/22/2019) – December 22, Christmas is ever so near, but today it is time to bring early cheer. For someone who’s special create a pure blessing, and give them the gift of amazement and guessing. Today, give someone the perfect lovely surprise. Surprises, the good kind that is, keep life intriguing. They make us excited, curious, and […]
All in Advent Window 21! (12/21/2019) – December 21, and only four days, this window’s about helping in so many ways. Too many dogs, cats, and other pets too, have to spend Christmas just waiting for you. But there are many ways to help, do not despair, if you can’t give a home you can simply just share. Today, help an animal […]
All in Advent Window 20! (12/20/2019) – December 20 and time to look far, open your circle and be someone’s star. There are many who may never hear from a friend, so today’s window solves that in a way that is penned. Today, become someone’s pen pal! There are many people for whom a pen pal would be a very special and […]
All in Advent Window 19! (12/19/2019) – December 19, not long now to wait. Today’s window asks you to think and create. Be it a text or a poem or even a letter, whatever you send, someone’s day will be better. Today, send a lovely message to the very first person who pops into your mind. Writing someone a letter or poem […]
All in Advent Window 18! (12/18/2019) – December 18 and Santa’s here in one week! This window looks out on the trust we should seek. Today, give someone the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes people seem to be making excuses, or making trouble, or simply making a nuisance of themselves. But instead of getting upset or annoyed, try giving them the benefit […]
All in Advent Window 17! (12/17/2019) – December 17, we are almost there! For today’s window, it’s only fair. Today, make someone’s day easier. It’s the small things that matter. It often doesn’t take much to make someone’s day just a little bit easier, but it often means rather a lot more. Return your shopping basket or cart. Clear your own table […]
All in Advent Window 16! (12/16/2019) – December 16, now only 9 days to go, today thank someone who helped you to know. Today, thank a teacher. Good teachers show, great teachers reveal, but the best teachers make you wonder. The best teachers don’t leave you thinking you have all the answers. The best teachers make you curious to ask more questions. […]
All in Advent Window 15! (12/15/2019) – December 15 and the weather is grey, open this window and make someone’s day! Today, create a special day for someone you love. There are lots of special days that people have invented for every day in the calendar, even today! Some people celebrate today as anything from Cupcake Day to Cat Herders Day. But […]
All in Advent Window 14! (12/14/2019) – December 14, now just 11 days away. Time for some donations so that forward we may pay. Today, gather donations for a worthy charity. They say stuff can’t make you happy, but it can if you give it away. And what’s even better, it’s a happiness that lasts! Giving is good for you and can […]
All in Advent Window 13! (12/13/2019) – Friday 13 is a day of superstition, but for this window it is a day to listen. Today, listen with care. Around the world there is more and more division and conflict, and people take on more entrenched positions, and we end up with more seemingly unbridgeable divides. Just like a dog trained through fear, […]
All in Advent Window 12! (12/12/2019) – December 12 is all about paying some attention. Instead of passing by, why not offer a connection? Today, connect with someone who might be otherwise overlooked. There are lots of people who move in and out of our lives on a daily basis and yet all too often they are taken for granted or even […]
All in Advent Window 11! (12/11/2019) – December 11 is a window of cheer, open this window and enjoy it all year. Today, encourage someone. Sometimes a kind word of support or even just showing an interest in someone’s efforts are more important than you can imagine. Recognising and cheering someone’s attempts not only makes them do better but also makes them […]
All in Advent Window 10! (12/10/2019) – December 10 will make amends, open the window to say sorry to friends. Today, apologise to someone. We’ve all made mistakes, that’s not the worst of it. It’s when we don’t try to make amends that the real injustice occurs. Today’s challenge is to apologise for something. You may be hanging onto the high ground, […]
All in Advent Window 9! (12/9/2019) – December 9 window is one of good humour, say something nice instead of a rumour. Today, say something nice about someone to others. Sometimes at work or school or just among friends it is too easy to spread gossip or rumour or simply what people don’t like about someone else. But how often in a […]
All in Advent Window 8! (12/8/2019) – December 8 and a friendship mandate, open the window and make a date! Today, reconnect with an old friend. It’s really easy to lose touch with old friends, or take for granted the friendships we have. But it’s even easier to reconnect. Send a text, or an email, or message on social media, or even […]
All in Advent Window 7! (12/7/2019) – December 7 and another window new. Here’s an act of kindness with much goodness it will do. Today, tell someone you are proud of them. Sometimes we forget to acknowledge the achievements of those closest to us, but it is so important to show people you recognise and value their efforts. Maybe someone has had […]
All in Advent Window 6! (12/6/2019) – It is December 6, which means another window to open onto the world! One more than five and not quite seven, today’s window will leave an impression … Today, help someone with a chore. It could be as simple as helping someone with a task at work, doing some shopping for someone, offering to run […]
All in Advent Window 5! (12/5/2019) – December 5 and window number 5! The same number of players on a basketball team, today’s kindness is all about making someone beam! Today, make someone laugh. They say that one of the greatest gifts of all is the gift of laughter. It might seem a bit difficult to make some people laugh, but that’s […]
All in Advent Window 4! (12/4/2019) – December 4 and one window more! Here’s a kindness we adore! Teach someone something new. Those who *can* do teach! Teaching someone something new takes understanding, patience, and of course kindness! Teaching someone something new is a gift in itself. It not only helps another but also keeps you learning too, which keeps you happy […]
All in Advent Window 3! (12/3/2019) – December 3 and window 3! Here is some kindness times three to spread for free! Give a compliment to the first three people you speak to today. There are lots of positive and sincere compliments you can give people. It could be that they’ve been very helpful, or they’ve made a wonderful coffee, or they’re […]
All in Advent Window 2! (12/2/2019) – December 2 and window 2! Here is your second kindness … Today, give your favourite book to a friend. Sharing a favourite book is not only a generous and kind thing to do, but also a gift for you both of a special memory to share. Sharing a book is sharing a special bond through […]
All in Advent Window 1! (12/1/2019) – It’s December 1st, which means it’s time to open your first window and receive your first gift of kindness … because spreading kindness and Christmas cheer really is a gift as well … Today, give a handwritten note to a special person to tell them how much you appreciate them. This person could be a […]
All In Advent! (11/28/2019) – It’s the most wonderful time of year again. But for many it may not always seem like it. So why is it the most wonderful time of year? Because a little bit of magic goes a long way in brightening someone’s day. And that’s just what we are setting out to do. That is why […]
