TOW: Doing Good

It's Christmas, and so I have been thinking a lot about the good that I can do in the world.  Everyone says that Christmas is the time to give, and blah, blah, blah, but I mostly think people say that because other people say that. 


So, I've decided, in a very, Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas Special sort of way, that I want to chronicle it and make it make sense over Christmas.  So, I've devoted the last 12 days of December before I return home to Saskatchewan as my 12 Days of Christmasly Good Deeds.  I'll be sharing my experience of things I've decided to do for each day, and how it went.  (Note:  Some of them might not be successes.  Sometimes charity goes awry, especially in TO, the city of the mentally maligned.)

I think I have succeeded in a lot of ways from pulling back and restoring 'me' since September, and that's a really good thing.  But there's always room for more happiness in other people's lives, and that, in turn, makes me happy.
