But what I AM ready for is Giving Tuesday, a day focused on giving back.
You can participate in your own way - volunteer with a nonprofit, donate food to the hungry or donate money to your nonprofit of choice. However you give, it will make a difference this holiday season.
You can also participate in Giving Tuesday by posting photos with #unselfie and #givingtuesday. You'll be featured on the Giving Tuesday website, and you'll share the message with all your followers! It's such a simple way to care about others for an important day.
If you want to support an environmental nonprofit this year, here are just a few to check out (but of course, choose any nonprofit you want!)
