As we dive head long into the start of 2013, I have been reminded of both the fact we are only half way through Christmas. If nothing else there is a song the 12 days of Christmas. Apart from the fact that this song is the cause of the annual Christmas argument in my house as to which order everything goes in. There is actually a very strong message in the song.
Has any one in your household ever added up the total number of gifts given over the 12 days in the song? Before I start another family argument I will give you the total and it is 364, the number of days from boxing day till the next Christmas day. It is meant to be a way of singing a gift for every day tween those days.
With that in mind why not add challenge to your new years resolution, why not have a jar on your dinner table and put a coin in every day between now and then, and then give it to a charity. We all know it is a hard financial time, but every one has those 1p 2p or 5p rattling at the bottom of your purse /wallet etc at the end of the day. Seriously what happens to them? So if you do this it will hurt less and at the end of the year I am sure you will have at least £5 extra to give to your chosen charity.
Why not let the 12 days of Christmas become the true 364 days of giving. With that though happy new year to all my readers and see you in 2013.
