6 Easy Ways to Spread the Holiday Cheer
Tired of all the "grinches" who complain
when the holiday season comes around? Want to make a difference and spread a
little holiday cheer? You can!
Making a difference is easy, fun, and can give you an opportunity to spend
valuable time with your family. It can also turn out to be just what you needed
to establish your own family tradition! It does not matter what holiday you and
your family celebrate (Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, or others). Here are some
ideas:
Bake cookies for friends and neighbors.
Everyone loves cookies! A simple and
sweet way to make people smile is to offer them a tasty treat. Block out an
afternoon in your busy holiday schedule to bake cookies for friends, family,
and neighbors - and ask your kids and spouse to help! To make the experience
more memorable, invite close friends and family to join in for an all-day
baking date.
Smile and wish people "Happy Holidays" or "Merry
Christmas."
It may sound simple, but what better
way to spread holiday cheer then to show it and say it? While on your way to
work, at the grocery store, or out shopping for family and friends this Holiday
Season, be sure to smile and wish others "Happy Holidays" or "Merry
Christmas." This can only inspire others to follow your lead and
spread the holiday peace and happiness. Positve attitude is contagious. Try it
and you will see.
Give small gifts to those who provide services.
Organize
or contribute in a fundraiser or food drive with friends.
Want to make a real difference this
holiday season? With a bit of effort and some reliable friends, you can
organize or contribute with a fundraiser or food drive. This is a great way to
help the less fortunate in your community, and it will surely make you and
others feel good.
Volunteer your time and energy.
For
a special gift, give a little of yourself. Helping others is a great way to
spread cheer and love. Take time out of your busy holiday schedule to volunteer
at a nursing home, orphanage, women's shelter, or homeless shelter. Smiles are
contagious - and you can spread them around.
Sing Christmas carols.
If you celebrate Christmas, nothing
says "holiday season" like Christmas carols. Spread some cheer this holiday
by playing Christmas carols in your home for family and guests. As Christmas
Day approaches, take family and friends caroling to help spread the holiday
spirit. Don't know the lyrics to your favorite carols? No worries - find your
