This Christmas, mend a quarrel.
Seek out a forgotten friend.
Dismiss suspicion, and
replace it with trust.
Write a love letter.
Share some treasure.
Give a soft answer,
Encourage youth.
Manifest your loyalty
in word and deed.
Keep a promise. Find the time.
Forgive a grudge. Forgive an enemy.
Listen.
Apologize if you were wrong.
Try to understand. Flout envy.
Examine your demands on others.
Think first of someone else.
Appreciate. Be kind. Be gentle.
Laugh a little. Laugh a little more.
Deserve confidence.
Take up arms against malice.
Decry complacency.
Express your gratitude.
Go to church. Welcome a stranger.
Gladden the heart of a child.
Take pleasure in the beauty
And wonder of the earth.
Speak your love. Speak it again.
Speak it once again.
