I can’t believe how fast this year is flying by, but as it is said, “time
waits for no man”…or woman. Ready or not, November has
begun! We are now in the middle of fall and winter and entering
the time referred to as the “Holiday Season”. Decorating during
this time is a tradition shared by many people; however, we do
not all have the same taste, nor do we all celebrate the same
Holidays. In fact, “World Kindness Day” is a little known holiday,
which began in 1998, and is celebrated on November 13th. While
decorating is not a part of
this celebration, random acts
of kindness are encouraged.
