Last year my family participated in the challenge of RACK’ing others. ย That is Random Acts of Christmas Kindness! ย It was so fun to come up with different ways to bless complete and total strangers; sometimes getting to see their reaction, but most times not. ย
Just the opportunity to share love and kindness to those around me was enough for me to be completely blessed.
I look forward to doing this again this Christmas season.
Want to know what exactly a Random Act of Christmas Kindness is and how you can get in on the fun? ย Here are a few ideas that only scratch the surface of ways that you can touch the heart and lives of others this Christmas…
Ways to perform RACK…
- At a fast-food restaurant or cafe, pay for the next person’s meal or drink.
- Leave a bag of quarters for the next person to use at the parking meter.
- Clean the snow off your neighbor’s car.
- Tape a few dollars to vending machines at the shopping plaza or at the office.
- Leave a gift card (with receipt) in a shopping cart for the next person to find..
- Hide dollar bills in the best sellers selection at bookstores or libraries.
- Leave diapers and wipes on the changing table in the restroom at the mall or shopping plaza.
- Keep reading to get a full list of ideas!
Random Acts of Christmas Kindness – the gift that blesses both the giver & the receiver!
I know that this time of year is full of all kinds of schedule consuming tasks and commitments, so consider this one of my RACKs — FREE printable downloads of not one, but two cards that you can use to hand out when you carry out your own acts! ย Click on the links below each image to download your own to your computer and print off as many copies as you need.
I’ve even included the list of ideas above on each printout with a lot of creative ways to get started!

After you have gone out and performed a few of your Random Acts of Christmas Kindness, I’d love it if you stopped back and posted a comment about your experience. ย It’s amazing that even out of the smallest act, something greater is always received…by both the giver and the receiver!
Loved this post! I love love love random acts of kindness! One of my favorites is paying for the person behind me at the drive thru — it’s such a rush trying to drive away before they see me! And I love the look on the face of the cashier! I always pray that the right person will pull in behind me, someone who needs some sunshine that day.
I really like these printables you created. I’ll need to get some printer ink and print those off to use.
Thanks for all the ideas. I had never thought of paying off someone’s layaway at a store — what a blessing! I want to do that soon!
Tiffany,
I’ve never had the opportunity to try to be sneaky with the RACK at the drive thru…every time I do it, no body drives up behind me! But that makes it all that much more fun, because I’ll never know who it was and neither will they.
Thank you for your kind compliment. They printable cards were fun to make! I created the first one (Merry Christmas) and then the words for the other (Tree) just came to me. As for the Layaway idea, I actually heard that one on KLOVE yesterday and thought it would be a great idea to add to the list!
I’d love to hear about your RACK experiences, so stop back soon! ๐
What a great way to let the light of Jesus love shine during the holiday season. The printables are too cute.
Wanda,
Thank you! I just love this activity. It’s great for kids and adults alike and is a great way to bless others and yourself at the same time.
I hope you’ll consider using some of the printables in and around your community this Christmas. I’d love to hear what your favorite RACK you perform is!
It’s always good to be reminded to think of others and I love this list of creative ways to do that. Thanks for this holiday reminder.
good information
