TEA TRAVELS(TM) - The Gift of Giving
There are many ways one can share their love of afternoon tea during the holidays with those in need. Either alone or with your friends contact your local food banks, senior centers, homeless centers or houses of worship and offer to create a holiday tea for those in need. Donate a gift basket of homemade scones and preserves to a worthy cause. Hold a fund raiser in your own home. Invite your friends to an afternoon tea holiday party. In lieu of gifts ask that a donation be made to a designated cause such as granting a wish to a seriously ill child. Sponsor an event or arrange an activity, whether it be for one person or a group. Include someone you know who might otherwise be alone during the holidays.
However you decide to participate, know that you will be putting a smile on someone else's face.
Wishing you happy holidays and a healthy and safe New Year!
Wishing you Happy TEA TRAVELS(TM)! Ellen Easton
