Macarism is a rare thing indeed these days! This holiday season (and all year 'round), let's all pledge to embody macarism every day. We never know how much a seemingly small gesture of kindness might mean to someone...and their happiness will trigger happiness in our own hearts. Tag someone you know who is a shining example!
The 2018 Grandiloquent Calendar will surely inspire joy every day of the year! Last order date for Christmas delivery in the US is Monday Dec. 18! http://tinyurl.com/
