The dictionary defines celebrate as:
1) to observe (a day) or commemorate (an event) with ceremonies or festivities.
2) to make known publicly; proclaim:
3) to praise widely or to present to widespread and favorable public notice, as through newspapers or novels
4) to perform with appropriate rites and ceremonies; solemnize
I’m sure if we ‘googled’ the word, we’d find all types of great definitions…but one thing is clear to me: celebrate is a verb. It’s something we choose to do. And many times, it’s something we choose to do for someone or some thing important to us.
Giving is one of Celebrate!’s High Five tips (to learn more, make sure to read: http://c-e-l-e-b-r-a-t-e.blogspot.com/2010/02/become-fan-of-celebrate-on-twitter.html). What better way to celebrate than to “make known publicly; proclaim” or to “praise widely” a cause that is near and dear to your heart? Part of Celebrate! Giving is to spotlight causes, groups and businesses that are choosing to Celebrate! by giving back to the people in their world.
