So, I saw this last year around Christmas time and SOOO wanted to do it, but {hang head in shame} I was honestly too lazy. I made the excuse that I didn't have enough time... BUT I DO!
RACK stands for RANDOM ACT OF CHRISTMAS KINDESS and our famiy has decided this is going to be a little Christmas tradition we are starting this year.
We made a whole list of things that we are going to do to show Random Acts of Kindess this season.
We did 25 Acts for the 25 Days of Christmas. We plan to leave a little Christmas note with each of our acts of kindness. I'm not recreating the wheel, so I'm using Cara Carrol's card that you can find on her blog
here. Cara also has a list of what she did last year when she went RACKing :)
Here is our list for 2012:
1. Tape candy canes to ATM machines.
2. Tape coins to vending machines.
3. Take cookies to the librarians at our local library.
4. Take brownies to the local fireman.
5. Take doughnuts to the local police officers.
6. We are doing two Christmas shoe boxes to ship overseas to one boy and one girl in need.
7. Visit the nursing home and hand out Christmas cards.
8. Donate items to the animal shelter and visit the animals.
9. Take hot chocolate to Salvation Army people outside of Walmart.
10. Leave a gift in the mailbox for the mailman/mailwoman
11. Collect canned goods for those in need.
12. Put candy canes on cars

14. Anonymously pay for another family's dinner.
15. Donate clothes to FABRIK {they are teaming up with United Way to help teens in need}
16. Donate toys to those in need.
17. Take gifts to our neighbors.
18. Donate coloring books and crayons to doctor's offices.
19. Adopt a class and bring them goody bags.
20. Donate coloring books and crayons to the church.
21. Push those random grocery carts back where they belong.
22. Bring breakfast for Caycen's babysitter.
23. Bring in breakfast for coworkers.
24. Visit the people working at CVS on Christmas Eve and gift them a gift since they can't be with their families.
25. Drop off Baker's Pride doughnuts at the local hospital and put them in the waiting room for the families and staff working on Christmas Day.
I am super excited about going RACKing and teaching my little man the importance of serving others and showing the love of CHRIST.
If you want to join us please let us know! And we would love LOTS of comments letting us know if you will be RACKing this year and also some encouragement as we get all of our stuff together to start RACKing!
I hope everyone has a BLESSED weekend!!!
Love,
The Darleys
