Feel the love in this episode! We love creating this podcast just for you!

We wanted to show you that showing love can impact others around you and make you a nicer person

We share Five Ways to Express Love

Gifts - Some people express and feel love through gift-giving. Giving flowers, clothes, a favorite treat, or a handmade item is one way people demonstrate that they are thinking about you.

Acts - Another way to express love is to do something kind or helpful for another person. By doing a chore or making a meal for your loved one, you can show them that they are important to you.

Time. - Spending quality time together is also an expression of love. When a person gives you their undivided attention, or makes time to take a walk or do another activity together, they are expressing that you are a priority in their life.

Touch - Love can be expressed through physical affection. Holding hands and sitting with the one you love!

Words - Some people feel and demonstrate love through words. Giving compliments and encouragement, saying “I love you,” and leaving notes of affection and appreciation are all ways of letting people know how much they mean to you.

Here on day 16, we are looking at being grateful

Being grateful is a skill.

Being grateful is a positive way of looking at life.

Being grateful can increase our happiness

Let's be more thankful for everything that they have.

here are 10 Ideas on how you can be grateful

1. Say please and thank you.

using our manners shows that we value others - we appreciate those around us that love and care for us, even in the little things, like picking up our socks...

2. Help someone else

This could be your neighbor down the street, grandma, or someone you know who is not having a good day

3. Volunteer.

maybe your family could buy some extra food for the homeless shelter, soup kitchen or bring some pizzas to your local fire fighters over the holidays - what could you do as a family?

4. Send out thank you cards.

show your gratitude for those who have helped you this year - it could even be your letter carrier or delivery person that has brought you your mail or packages all year - have you said thank you?

5. Find something special about every day

Look around, our world is full of magic - from sunrise to sunset, there is beauty all around us - and we all live in different cities and countries - we have something special that no one else has ever seen before - look for something special around you today

6. Share your gratitude at bedtime.

Take five minutes at the end of the day to tell someone what you are grateful for - what is it from your day today that was special?

7. Compliment others.

Share the things you appreciate about another person.

8. Write it down

If you are really little, paint or draw a picture of what you are grateful for and put it on the fridge, if you are older write down the things that you are grateful for

9. Tell someone

write a letter to someone who has made you feel special. this could be an email, a christmas card or even a phone call

10. Your family could start a family gratitude list.

Post this list on the fridge. Add to it when necessary.

Being grateful takes work, you can start today

be grateful, and tell someone too!

DAY EIGHTEEN - Forgive Others, A Post Turtle, Selfie's Story , North Pole news and more

Welcome back to Day 18! Today we look at forgiveness - why it is important for all of us to forgive others!

Selfie shares a story about a carrot and a lie

We find out what a Post Turtle is and we look at our topic of forgiveness by talking about...

10 Ways to to Forgive others

1. Forgiveness with no conditions

forgive regardless of the other person’s response - forgiving someone for what they have done or said is more for us than for them really - we stop letting what they have done hurt us when we forgive and let it go

2. It’s Not About Being Right

When you forgive someone, it should never be about being right.

3 No rules

By placing rules on our forgiveness, we are not truly forgiving.

“If you make my bed for the next week I will forgive you.”

That’s not forgiveness.

Forgiveness is given without rules or conditions.

4. It might take time

forgiveness can't be forced.

when it forced, we really don’t mean it, nothing gets solved.

Give it time.

5. there are always 2 sides to forgiveness

We really only see our side of an issue.

We need to be able to see things from the other side.

Our side is only part of the story.

Forgiving is much easier when we know the whole story and not just half of it.

6. Don’t hide forgiveness

when we don't forgive, it can lead to all sorts of future problems.

we start to not like people that we haven't forgiven

we see someone that we haven't forgiven and we turn and walk the other way - we don't even want to see them, or talk to them, ever again.

this can be painful for you and the other person

Forgiveness is like a bridge that connects two people that have been separated

7. The Inside Eventually Comes Pouring Out

when we don't forgive people it can change us and make us not a fun person to be around - we become part of the problem over time

8. Teach Them To Serve

Giving forgiveness helps us to be humble and not proud.

be mindful of the needs of others.

9. The Golden Rule

“Treat others as we wish to be treated ourselves.”

what if we made a mistake and dis something wrong - how would we want the other person to treat us? Would we want their forgiveness if we made the mistake?

however we want to be treated, we need to treat people in the same way

10. forgiveness doesn't Keeping score

we all want to be forgiven. Then tell them to do likewise.

Forgiveness is not like sports

In sports we keep score of the points - we put the score up on the board so that all can see

Some people keep score of all the bad things that other people have done and do not forgive and let it go! When we throw away the bad thing that happened, it means we don’t remind the person again that they did it. It means we start over.

Our homework today - to think of one person that we need to forgive and then tell them that we forgive them

forgiveness is a great way to stay on Santa's nice list.
