Check Out All the Places You Can Volunteer for Christmas

Doing something good for someone else can be much more special than getting a gift. Seriously, helping or volunteering makes the heart grow. Take the Grinch for example- after he gave back all of the presents he stole from the Who-folk his heart grew three sizes bigger.
