What Would Happen If We Held Christmas Traditions Throughtout The Year

What would happen if we did Christmas traditions throughtout the entire year? I know, I know. You're saying "What are you talking about? Christmas only come once a year. Are you saying give gifts, the entire year?" I'm not talking about gift giving, I'm talking about doing things you traditionally only do during Christmas. What would happen if we spread cheer, joy, and goodwill to all, throughout the entire year?

What would happen if we gave toys, clothing, and food (continually gave) throughout the entire year to those less fortunate than us (they do need food and clothing for more than one day)? What would happen if we visited Nursing Homes and  hospitals, singing and spreading joy for one day every month, throughout the entire year? What would happen if we sat down with our children and watched a favorite movie, two or three nights, every month, for an entire year?  What would happen if we baked cookies and sang songs with our families one night a month for the entire year? What would happen if we jumped in our cars with our family and friends driving through neighborhoods sipping hot chocolate?  Hmmm . On second thought we might not be able to do that one year 'round. Someone might call the police. lol. But you get my drift.

I'm not saying that the world would be a kinder and gentlier nation nor would we be sitting around holding hands singing kumbaya. But I am saying it's a start. A start for us to begin caring about someone besides ourselves and our families. A start for families to begin genuinely feeling "together".

As one of the famous Jackson 5 songs says:
 Taking time to be kind to one and all
It's that time of year
When good friends are dear
And you wish you could give more
Than just presents from a store
Why don't you give love on Christmas day
Oh, even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Him love on Christmas day
No greater gift is there than love

People you don't know
Smile and nod hello
Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy
It's that once a year
When the world's sincere

Give love on Christmas day.
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs your love.

What would happen if we held Christmas traditions throughout the entire year? I think, more love.

That's my two cents let me know yours.
