It’s the most wonderful time of the year…for giving! We elves love to give presents to each other and help Santa give presents to people all over the world! What makes our tinsel tingle the most though is giving presents of kindness and love!
While the boss in the red suit won’t deliver presents until December 24th…moms, dads, grandparents, and everyone in between are busy shopping for Christmas presents this month! Holiday shopping has become a lot easier now that presents can be ordered online and delivered straight to your door! Delivery personnel do their very best to deliver packages on time for the holidays and this is the busiest time of the year for them. They spend long hours in their trucks/vans going door to door every day to make sure gifts are delivered on time. It is quite possibly one of the most thankless jobs, as they rarely see the people they are delivering to! This month we’re encouraging you to show how thankful you are for all of the delivery men and women this holiday season. It’s the perfect way to give back, show your appreciation, and spread some holiday cheer!
Check out this awesome video of a delivery man showing his excitement after finding treats! It’s all the encouragement you need to get started!
