Buy One for the One Behind - One of our favorite Activities!
My dear friend Mike came up with this one and does it every year.
When you go to the coffee shop, post office, toll booth, or even the video store, give the cashier an extra $5, $10 or $20 dollars to use to pay for the person in line behind you or until the money runs out. Be sure to ask them to keep you anonymous!
 It makes the person receiving happy! it makes the person giving the freebie happy! It's a win-win all around!!
A great activity to go with the following Advent Bag and Box Activity Cards: It's Time to Be Santa's Elves, Keep in Step with the Spirit of Giving, Let's Be Christmas Angels or customize one of the Blank Cards.
