Welcome to the first On the Plus Side!
These will be short stories of positive or happy observations that I see every day. The purpose of these stories is to show the community that positive and happy events occur every day and to bring a smile to your face.

I’ll keep this week’s story short and sweet. And Christmas Themed!
We set up a Christmas Tree in my gym a couple of weeks ago. We asked our customers to donate toys and food so that we could then organise for the donations to be given to families in need, so that they could have a happy Christmas with enough food and gifts for their kids.
We don’t often recognise that Christmas time isn’t a happy time for everyone. There are quite a few people and families out there at this time who find that Christmas time simply highlights how much they are struggling right now. So I really wanted to do something to make Christmas a happy time for as many people as possible in my community.
The amount of donations we received this year was truly incredible! The generosity that we saw from the members of my gym was truly inspiring. One member alone donated well over $200 in gifts and vouchers alone. It was incredibly heart warming to see these donations go off to be given to people who really needed them.
What positive and fun stories have you collected this Christmas season? I’d love to hear them.
I’ve created the tag #plusside so if you want to read all positive and fun stories I write for this series simply check this tag. Obviously this is the first in the series so right now there’s only one. :P
Happy Christmas Steemians!
