Looking through a list of wacky, wild and funny holidays for December, I came across one for December 14th called "More Good Today Day". Reading that it is a gratitude/share kindness/caring kind of day, it seemed to fit in this mid-December counting the days until Christmas time. We are all feeling 'good' as we prepare to celebrate the holidays with family/friends and it seems appropriate that we take a bit of time on December 14th to share those good feelings.
Holidays That Celebrate Kindness, Generosity and Caring
Learning about the More Good Today Day holiday, I discovered that there are a number of holidays throughout the year which focus on the positive words and acts of kindness that belong under the umbrella of More Good Today! Check out the following dates that encourage us all to be more caring and extend acts of kindness that help make this old world of ours a better place to live.

*Holiday review of More Good Today Day written by Wednesday Elf
When I read the title of this post, I thought how every day should be "more good today". I am blessed to have several people around me who have a "more good today" attitude everyday. The world would certainly be a better place if we all had an attitude of caring & kindness. I like this holiday idea, Elf! It makes us stop and think how we need to be grateful, caring and kind at all times.
ReplyDeleteYou're exactly right, Mouse. The world would be a kinder, gentler place if every day was filled with goodness, gratitude and caring. These 'reminder' days DO make us stop and think ..... and Care!
ReplyDeleteLove this review. You always find the coolest holidays to write about
ReplyDeleteThanks, Mary Beth. This one really appealed to me. :)
DeleteThat's a great list to have on hand - I may have to put this on my fridge - or at least on my desk. There are so many interesting days in a year, and unless you tell me about them, I don't know what they are!
ReplyDeleteI agree completely, Elf! The world would be such a better place if more people actively looked for opportunities to be kinder and more caring as part of their daily approach to life and other people. Thank you for doing your part to encourage people to spread more kindness!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful thing to celebrate caring, kindness and gratefulness every day, but its lovely there are special days for us to take note and remember the good in our busy lives. Thank you for your review and these reminders !
