Share 31 Days of Hygge-Inspired Kindness

A cozy countdown for your Advent or year-end celebration!

May this month-long kindness challenge become a much-loved tradition for your family’s giving season. Each activity is an invitation to spend meaningful moments together, share kindness in your community, and enjoy an exorbitant amount of hot chocolate and cookies.

Just when I think my own family has possibly outgrown this tradition, the kids remind me of its importance!

Family life often feels full, never more so than in December! With year-end events and holiday responsibilities crowding out already-scarce free time, it can feel impossible to add in one more thing. Much less a daily kindness challenge!

The temptation to grab a hot beverage, light some candles, and settle in with a sappy movie can be hard to resist.

Thankfully, my kiddos have reminded me that our year-end kindness challenge pairs well with a good movie. In fact, my youngest says the holidays just wouldn’t be the same without the crafty, sometimes ridiculous, always memorable ways we connect with friends, family, and community through this annual tradition.

Bring on the coziness, bust out the art supplies, and join us in settling in during these dark December evenings to start ripples of kindness one day at a time.
