One of my favorite activities during the Christmas season is when we decorate scraps of paper, attach a quarter to each, and go tape the paper/quarter scraps to the carts at Aldi. Aldi lets you 'rent' carts for a quarter, ensuring that their parking lot doesn't get cluttered with carts and also that their carts stay in better condition. We just do five dollars or so of quarters so a random few people have one less quarter to worry about. The girls get so excited about it, though!
We also had the opportunity to serve while we were out! We noticed a father and son hurrying in the cold with a lot of groceries and offered them a ride. The girls were wary and quiet, but after we dropped the man and his son with their family at a hotel, the girls asked why we helped. I thought it was a perfect opportunity and asked them in return if they thought Jesus would have helped someone struggling in the cold. When they both replied that He would have, I told them that that's why we help people.
