\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWhile I’m deeply sadden by the recent world events, I’m thankful for my little family and am holding them a little closer.<\/p>\n

Christmas music, gift guides, red cups, decorations, etc. are flying around the internet and it’s hard not to get in the holiday spirit. I’m guilty — having already posted about christmas stockings<\/a>, pjs<\/a>, and a gift guide for the fitness enthusiast<\/a>. Plus, I have plenty more to come!<\/p>\n

Today I wanted to talk about Christmas, but about sharing the cheer in another way, giving happiness.<\/p>\n

HOW TO GIVE HAPPINESS<\/a> THIS HOLIDAY SEASON:<\/b>
\n
<\/b>
\n1. Adopt a local family in need – There are a lot of families that can’t afford Christmas gifts or winter clothing.<\/p>\n

2. Donate to your favorite cause – This year not only did I help raise awareness and funds, but I also donated to Barbells for Boobs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n

\n3. Volunteer at your local food bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Feeding those in need with the WPR team.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

4. Buy a stranger a cup of coffee, pay their toll, etc.<\/p>\n

5. Prep freeze meals or cook a holiday dinner for a family with medial issues – it seems as though a new ‘go fund me’ pops up in my news feed daily. While I know medial bills can add up quickly [Hello, baby in NICU] there are other ways to help out [i.e., coffee & gas gift cards, ready to cook meals, dog sitting, etc.]. Trust me all these things are very helpful. After Emerson was born we loved all the homemade meals from friends.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\nThis year Coca-Cola at Walmart<\/a> has teamed up with The Salvation Army. Every Walmart Deli prepared meal with Coca-Cola purchased in November and December will provide a meal to families through The Salvation Army, so families in need will be able to enjoy the holidays together over a warm meal. Plus, every photo shared on social media using #givehappiness supports families in need.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\nBuying a prepared meal gives<\/span><\/span> you more time with to spend with your family, <\/span><\/span>friends, volunteering or adventuring. <\/span><\/div>\n
\n
<\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI’m spending my extra time with miss Emerson and inspiring others to achieve their passions.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI didn’t know Walmart<\/a>‘s prepared pizza was so affordable ! At $5 for a medium pizza you really can’t go wrong when you’re looking for something quick and easy.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nBe sure to share photos on social media of your family enjoying a prepared meal from Walmart<\/a> along with Coca-Cola using the hashtag #GiveHappiness! How will you spend your extra time with family?!<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
