Christmas Cheer Spreads to Everyone

Christmas is almost here and there is nothing more joyful than spending the day with family and friends. People from every corner of life will open presents, reminisce about old times, and fill their stomachs with way too much food. It never hurts to be reminded that not every child gets a “big” Christmas. Some of them might go hungry or have to spend the holiday in a shelter. Here are a few feel good videos to remind us that there are still good people in the world who want to help others, especially at Christmastime.



Shop with a Cop is an awesome program that allows police officers to interact with children across the county. Officers volunteer their time to take the children shopping for gifts at Christmastime. Thank you to the officers who took part in the campaign to spread a little joy to the children in the area.


Police in Lowell, Michigan give out presents instead of tickets when stopping people. Excellent is all I can say. Lowell set a very good example for everyone.



Anonymous man gives police officers money to hand to people who are in need. This just shows how good people can work together, when they want to. This took place in Kansas City, Missouri.



Jamson Labs paid off $12,000 worth of layaways at a Walmart. Some of those helped said they would not have had the money to pay it off before Christmas.



Practice Kindness took kids to a local grocery store and paid off people's groceries. It was an amazing lesson for the kids and they had fun doing it. They even helped the recipients put the items in their cars..



This group is not from the United States, but that doesn't mean that it can't be done here. They go out and find homeless people in order to give them a Christmas. They even wrap the presents and give him enough money to get a place to stay for Christmas. 

There are generous and caring people all around us. Remember the Christmas spirit and the great gift that you have been given and spread that love and caring to those around you. It's the most wonderful time of the year, so consider making it just as wonderful for those who might not otherwise have a Christmas celebration. And a very Merry Christmas from me to you.
