In Sweden, two women are making Christmas special for those who might otherwise feel alone.

Caroline Wieslander and her family have opened their home to strangers, hosting three families for a festive celebration with food and gifts.

Caroline believes in sharing the joy of the season with those who lack the opportunity to celebrate.

Meanwhile, Sanne Nilsson from Falköping, who often spends Christmas alone, has taken matters into her own hands.

She invited anyone feeling lonely to a pre-Christmas gathering on December 23rd through social media.

Her initiative has already received an outpouring of positive responses, showing the power of community and kindness during the holidays.
