KINDNESS
What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make. #<Author:0x00007ff5f10636c0>

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more? #<Author:0x00007ff5f11a8fd0>

Families are the compass that guides us. They are the inspiration to reach great heights, and our comfort when we occasionally falter. #<Author:0x00007ff5f077bd00>
FAMILY
A smile starts on the lips, A grin spreads to the eyes, A chuckle comes from the belly; But a good laugh bursts forth from the soul, Overflows, and bubbles all around. #<Author:0x00007ff5f11e2140>
LAUGHTER
The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life. Rarely do members of one family grow up under the same roof. #<Author:0x00007ff5f11d0648>
