Since you get more joy out of giving joy to others,
you should put a good deal of thought into the happiness that you are able to give.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Ask children what they are GIVING for Christmas, instead of asking what they are getting.
Tip someone who doesn't expect it.
On Christmas eve we had a Joyball for everybody to enjoy. All year long we'd buy items from 10cents to $1. These gifts are wrapped in scraps of leftover Christmas wrap then wrapped in crepe paper strips. Starting with one small gift and wrapping & adding gifts until there is a big ball. The only strip secured is the last one with one piece of tape. When ready to 'play', gather everyone on the floor, take the tape off & bat the ball around catching gifts as they fall out. When all is finished, unwrap gifts & trade if wanted. We always did this at our Christmas parties and was it ever fun. Surprisingly, everyone got down regardless of their age or what they were wearing. Thanks Sally!
