Second Chance Christmas - Build a Snowman
Take advantage of the winter weather and throw on a scarf(e)! The best way to enjoy the season is to embrace it. If you’re lucky enough this season to get a snowy day, bundle up and head outside with a friend or family member, a pair of waterproof gloves, maybe a carrot for the nose, and build a snowman.

This film has a cast full of musical talent and some wonderful performances sprinkled in. We invite you to join them and spread some cheer through your favorite Christmas carols.

A Christmas Prayer Tradition.- A Thoughtful Gesture
These movies all started from the idea of being there for others and Christmas is a wonderful time to give something to someone else. It doesn’t have to be something expensive, or even tangible, it’s about the thought that counts – give your time, your love, or something you made yourself.

Letters this Christmas - Send a Letter
There’s never a bad time to remind someone that you care about them. Think of somebody you’ve lost touch with, sit down, and hand write them a letter, and send it in the mail! This gesture can go a long way in reminding a person that someone is thinking about them. You can even go the extra mile and use Christmas stationery or add holiday stickers.

A Sweet Christmas Anniversary - Enjoy a Christmas Market

Christmas is a popular time for toy drives, adoption events, and other fundraisers. Take some time this season to help, volunteer, or even organize one of these events. It’s a wonderful time to give back to your community and those who need it.
The Greatest Christmas Gift - Play an Instrument

The Christmas Ornament Library - Make Your Own Ornament
