December 2011: Feed the Need
It’s December, and the Christmas Holidays are almost upon us!
Christmas holidays have always been my favourite time of year. Yes, I get caught up in the stress of buying Christmas presents, working long hours finishing off as much work as I can before the holidays start, worrying about my finances, and wondering how much Christmas baking to do! But amidst all that, there’s always the anticipation of having relaxing hours spent with loved ones, not having to worry about all that work that came before the start of the holidays.
And I love the start of the New Year. After what will have hopefully been a few days of rest, relaxation, quality time spent with friends and family, sharing peace, joy, laughs and love, I feel re-energized, positive and ready to take the new year head-on as a challenge to a fresh, positive start.
There are so many people, individuals and families alike, who aren’t able to have relaxing, stress-free holidays and able to look to the new year with optimism.
So many are doing it tough now and can’t afford the luxuries of have a Christmas holiday, splurging on presents and grand dinners.
Christmas is such a special time, I feel everyone should be able to enjoy as much as I, my friends, and my families do.
This Month, No Formula is supporting a local charity, helping Gold Coast families in need. So, to help bring a little festive joy of the season to families doing it tough, NO FORMULA is donating 5% of all December sales to ‘Feed the Need’.
Feed the Need is a Gold Coast-based Charity preparing Christmas hampers for local families.
For more details, visit www.feedtheneed.org
Happy Holidays, everyone!
