Sometimes I wish I could be a superhero and do awesome acts for people during Christmas. My dad told me that even though I don’t have superpowers I can still be amazing and do wonderful things for people. So I thought about it, and here are some things I would like to be this Christmas that can make a difference to me and others.

I can be positive.

Even when I feel like being grumpy, I can do my best to be positive and look for the good in each situation. I can conquer negative moods by doing my best to be happy even when things don’t turn out as I wanted them to. When I am positive and focus on all the wonderful things that I am blessed with, not only do I feel good, it makes others feel happier too.

I can be courageous.

Doing new things is a challenge. It takes courage to try something I’ve never done before. I can be courageous by seeing each new challenge as an adventure. When I am brave and step out to do something new, especially something that will help others, then I am doing my part, no matter how small, to make things better for others.

I can be adaptable.

With many things happening during the Christmas season, sometimes things don’t go as I would like or plan. I can be adaptable, which means I have the ability to change and adjust to whatever circumstances I face. It’s not always easy, but when I make the effort, it makes me feel better. It’s one little way that I can make things easier and better for my parents and those who care for me.

Best of all, these things can be a part of who I am all year long! What can you be this Christmas that would make it an extra special holiday for others too? Merry Christmas!
