Share some Christmas goodwill stories.
One Christmas goodwill story is about a community coming together. In a small town, a family lost their home to a fire just before Christmas. The local church organized a fundraiser and within days, they had enough money to rent a new place for the family and buy them new furniture and Christmas presents. It was a beautiful display of Christmas spirit and goodwill.
There was a story of a little girl who found out that there were some kids in her school who couldn't afford Christmas gifts. She decided to make homemade cookies and sell them in the neighborhood. With the money she made, she bought small presents for those kids. This simple act of kindness spread the Christmas goodwill far and wide. People were inspired by her selfless act and some even joined her to help more children in need.
