As usual it is so good to hear from you buddy, and it is the inspiration of guys like yourself and Todd Silva who have helped us to do something this year which transcends anything we have ever felt before.
We told all our friends and relatives some months ago that we would not be either buying or receiving presents this year. Instead we would be donating the money we would have spent to The Donna Louise Trust which is a local children's hospice.
I swear to you Karl that the feeling we had when we posted the cheque was immense, and they sent a simple reply which was a card from one of the little angels residing there, and just beneath her gorgeous little face she had written the words "Thank You Chris & Tina".
That little card is now sitting beneath our Christmas tree on its own.
And it means FAR FAR more than opening prezzies tomorrow morning. The feeling of giving, particularly to children, and particularly to children who may be enjoying their last Christmas is absolutely AMAZING.
Please forward this to anyone, everyone Karl if you wish. Tell them that GIVING and not receiving at Christmas feels absolutely AWESOME.
Have a GREAT Christmas my good friend, and we wish you everything you want and need for 2010
"My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?"
Today, many hundreds of thousands of individuals across our great blue planet are celebrating. It's a great feeling.
Today's post is partially a Random Act of Kindness, partially a message of inspiration, partially a greeting for the holidays, and wholly a big dollop of love.
Why?
Because Christmas is here. It's the time for you to open your heart and embrace the world around you.
You see, anyone that knows me... knows one thing.
I love this time of year!
It's magical. People everywhere -- at least those not caught in the crazed, ever-busy last-minute gift rush -- open their hearts and become just a little more loving.
It's the time we can officially be jovial and say "I LOVE YOU!" without feeling like an idiot.
It's rationed happiness.
Of course, you could be like that all year round -- and feel great as a result. But if you don't, AT LEAST do it for Christmas, and live every minute of the holidays to the full!
So, what can you do to get into the Christmas spirit?
They're small acts of kindness, done for the good of some stranger, solely for the purpose of making their like more joyful -- without expecting anything in return!
This week, my mother donated much of her wages to abandoned cat and dog charities up in the North East of England. (And my mum has a lot of big bills to pay!)
On Saturday, I helped an elderly man overloaded with bags up the steep hill to our local train station.
Last night, I gave a surprise visit to an elderly friend -- and decorated his otherwise-Christmas-free house with bright tinsel and wreaths and "Merry Christmas!" signs. They cost me �7 in total, and changed his mindset completely!
Those are just a few festive Random Act's of Kindness you can use to change someone else's life -- and make yourself feel great at the same time.
A Random Act of Kindness is, after all, simply an act of love.
And what is Christmas if not love?
Before signing off today, I'd like to give you a couple of quick Christmas gifts.
And so, as this glorious day slowly retires and the sound of sleighbells gently ring in the distance, allow me to wish you... a very, very merry Christmas!
With love, with happiness, with a big smile and wide pupils... I wish you all the very, very best.
With Christmas in just a couple of short weeks time, it's time to get into the festive spirit!
And a fantastic way to start is with my Christmas screensaver!
I've spent the past few days creating a visual treat for your monitor.
The Karl Blog.com Christmas screensaver displays 100 of the most beautiful festive scenes from across the globe, and then smoothly transitions from one to the next.
It's a great way to begin your celebrations -- and it's not only spyware-free, virus-free and adware-free, it's also completely... free!
As my many regular blog readers know, I am an avid supporter of Durham Cathedral and its works.
Described by Bill Bryson as "the greatest cathedral on planet earth," this is one of the few places I miss in my many travels across the globe.
When I return to Durham, I stroll around its grounds endlessly, searching for answers, contemplating life, coming up with yet another blog post idea.
I've sung there, laughed there, cried there. I regularly support its many great causes. And my nephews have educated me as to its Harry Potter connections.
Today, I'd like to recommend Durham Cathedral to you.
I'd also like to strongly urge you to donate to their cause by clicking on this JustGiving link. It is still free to enter (unlike many other Cathedrals), however costs upward of �3m to run every single year.
I was reading the book 'The Demon-Haunted World,' by late American science popularist Carl Sagan -- incidentally, a true hero of mine -- and he unexpectedly opened one of his chapters with:
My parents died years ago. I was very close to them. I still miss them terribly. I know I always will. I long to believe that their essence, their personalities, what I loved so much about them, are - really and truly - still in existence somewhere.
I wouldn't ask very much, just five or ten minutes a year, say, to tell them about their grandchildren, to catch them up on the latest news, to remind them that I love them.
There's a part of me - no matter how childish it sounds - that wonders how they are.
"Is everything all right?" I want to ask. The last words I found myself saying to my father, at the moment of his death, were "Take care."
Wow.
This is a man writing on the subject of superstition, life after death, UFOs, religions, mystical powers -- and why we shouldn't believe in any of it -- unveiling something universal in us all.
That very human emotion of grief, loss, a yearning for love.
What does chapter opening say to you?
What does it inspire you to do, or change? How does it make you feel? And how could you alter your day and attitude - in honour of those words?
You never know what you have... until you don't have it.
Don't risk taking taking anything in life for granted.
