Actually – I won’t miss anything. But a lot of people will. I started thinking about alternatives.
On Christmas Day – take the phone number of a friend and change one number – call it and wish whoever answers a happy Christmas. Or maybe if you feel a bit wicked you could call it just after midnight and claim to be Santa lost/stuck at Dover.
Get together a few random odd gifts and post them out to people that would never expect them (gets them feeling nice and guilty). Best to post before Christmas and get them to arrive after Christmas.
Get a pocket of change (sanitise it) and walk round town leaving coins on window sills.
But seriously – a lot of people need a lift as we head in to a New Year. Next year is promising to start harder than this year. Give some thought to how you can put a smile on another face.
