Christmas time has come upon us. You may be wondering how you can spread Christmas cheer to others, whether it’s coworkers, people at the grocery store, friends, or anyone else you see. Here are 7 ways to spread Christmas cheer to others.
#1 Cards
One way you can spread Christmas cheer to others is by sending Christmas cards. If you know the person’s address you can send the card by mail, otherwise, bring a card with you with a note inside and hand it to a stranger. You can have store-bought cards, personalized ones, or DIY cards.
#2 Caroling
Another way to brighten someone’s day during the Christmas season is by going caroling. Bring your family or go with a friend. You can carol to friend’s houses, family members houses, businesses, or nursing homes.
#3 Bake Cookies
Almost everyone likes cookies or baked treats. When you do your Christmas baking, make some extra goodies and give them to your neighbors, friends, families, or coworkers. Whoever you bring it to will be happy, both for the baked goodies and for your thoughtfulness.
#4 Decorate your House
If you would prefer not to interact with people, a simple way you can spread Christmas cheer to others is by decorating your house. There is nothing like driving down a road and seeing the variety of Christmas decorations on houses, whether it be lights on the house, wreaths on the door, or blow-ups in the yard. The Christmas decorations brings a smile to everyone’s face.
#5 Donate A Toy
A fifth way you can spread Christmas cheer is by donating toys to kids in need. [1] Most stores have boxes set up to where you can donate one toy or multiple toys.
#6 Pay It Forward
A simple way to spread Christmas joy is by paying it forward. [2] When you’re at a fast food restaurant, pay for the next person’s meal; or if you get a coffee from somewhere, pay for the next person’s coffee. You may never know how much paying it forward impacted the person behind you.
#7 Bell Ringing
The final way you can spread Christmas cheer is by ringing the Salvation Army bell. [3] Some churches have sign-up sheets available, or you may be able to call someone to sign up. You can choose whenever you would like to ring the bell. When you do ring the bell, you can tell the shoppers “Merry Christmas!” as they leave or you can sing Christmas carols, to help spread Christmas joy.
