\"Acts\r\n\r\n\"Acts\r\n\r\nFor the third year running, we are proud to announce the Acts of Kindness Advent Calendar<\/a> … because it is better to give than to receive.<\/p>

We really want you to join us! Here are 10 outrageously fun reasons why you should participate:<\/h2>

\r\n\r\n1. Waxy chocolate is overrated<\/strong> – with Swiss blood, I love chocolate as much as the next person but even little kids admit that the waxy little chocolates you get in cheap-o advent calendars is not as good as the anticipation<\/em> of eating it. Can you say #overrated?!<\/p>

\r\n\r\n2. We have cute little bears<\/strong> – last year we partnered with our South Pole friends the penguins, but our North Pole friends felt left out. This year, a troop of polar bears are helping us spread kindness. How could you resist?<\/em><\/p>

\r\n\r\n3. There’s a big hag that you need to know about<\/strong> – No, not the evil kind. We\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2re life coaches<\/a>, so we needed to create a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG or in this case Big HAG) that would fire us up. So here it is, we are shooting for 10,000 Acts of Kindness<\/a> this year (more than 3x the AoKs from last year) and we need your help. Will you help us crush this BHAG?<\/p>

\r\n\r\n4. Light up Black Friday<\/strong>\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0– Do you know what black means to a business person? The opposite of red. It means profit. So, instead of filling corporate bank accounts (and emptying yours), let\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s fill hearts. Awwww.<\/em><\/p>

\r\n\r\n5. Party with Spandy Andy<\/strong> – 30,000 Facebook fans and 25,000 YouTube fans can\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2t all be wrong. Spandy Andy is the real deal when it comes to spreading smiles and he\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s helping us to spread kindness via the #KindnessAdvent<\/a>. Woot woot!<\/p>
