Christmas goodwill is my favourite part of the festive season outside my own family celebrations. I love how everyone gives their time and attention in a more generous-spirited way. I see people reaching out to help others and more forgiveness too. I love how charities benefit from unexpected donations at this time of year. I asked bloggers to share times when such goodwill made a big difference to their lives.
“My friends doing the pick up and the drop of the my kids when I am in need. They are such stars. I will never forget” www.ethannevelyn.com
“My friend travelled down from North London (about 1,5-2 hour journey) to help me just after I miscarried. She knew I had no family nearby, so she took time out on her only day off to come and help out. She brought healthy food, treats, some pampering products and took my toddler to the playground for an hour. It meant a lot and helped me tremendously.” https://www.scandimummy.com
“When my husband was in hospital post heart transplant, a gentleman in the next ward was due to go home. He left £150 by my husband’s bedside whilst he slept with a little note that read – Hopefully you will be out in time for Christmas” Sticky Mud and Belly Laughs – A Family Lifestyle Blog
It was a super difficult time for us & I cannot tell you how incredible my friends were” Our Mummy Life Homepage
A friend gave me some direct and solid advice about knowing my worth and as a result, I put up my rates which has enabled me to work a little less. By sharing what they knew and being honest they have made a huge difference to my workload and wellbeing” https://www.babybudgeting.co.uk
