Before the meal, share what you are thankful for or a special holiday memory and ask everyone else to do the same. Solicit volunteers to help you make a batch of cider or hot coffee. Sing Christmas carols at each stop. Check your local newspaper for a list of houses to tour. Visit a nursing home.
Statistics show that many elderly people are often forgotten during the holidays.
Give them a small homemade gift or a holiday card. Be Santa Claus or Mrs. Claus to others this year. Run an ad in the local paper. Rent yourself out or do it for free. One year I played Santa Claus to a family whose father had lost his job.
