What can you do to make someone else's day better?
Glad to hear of an AA meeting going to prepare dinner for those who may otherwise have none. Several of the groups in our area used to do the same thing. It really did feel good contributing a covered dish or two, while a couple of the members would take on roasting a couple of turkeys. All the members pitched in decorating, serving, cleaning up.

If you know of several folks who'll be spending the day alone, why not get together at someone's apartment/house and plan a simple meal to share...it doesn't have to be a huge turkey...chicken will do just as well. Even when my family and I were still spending the Holiday together, we would always try to invite one or two we knew would be alone otherwise.

Many AA groups would hold Gratitude Meetings in the evening. Members would take turns going to the podium to share briefly on what they were grateful for. It was always uplifting and inspiring.
