Christmas is December 25. Many people celebrate the holiday around the world with special food, music and gift exchanges. But the holiday can also be very busy and difficult. Sometimes it is hard to get into the spirit of Christmas. What can you do? Turn to tech! Apps, websites, videos, music and more can help create a festive mood and spread the cheer! RACK - Random Acts of Christmas Kindness Nothing spreads good cheer better than helping others. Start a holiday tradition with Random Acts of Christmas Kindness, or RACK. RACKing does not have to be costly; the best gifts are often those that take the most thought and no money at all. For inspiration, check out Pinterest RACK boards and RACK pins. This RACK Pinterest board has pins including RACKS for the elderly, kids and more. Also check out RACK webpages to get ideas for helping others. Baton RougeMoms.com has one. Another, the Still Being Molly website, has a free RACK Advent calendar to download. The calendar is filled with ideas to spread cheer: RACK Advent Calendar 2016. And, the Kiddie Matters website has 30 ideas for random acts of kindness you can do with children.
