Share Some Joy This Holiday Season ~ Give Thanks Cards

This post contains affiliate links.

We are kicking off this series with ways to share the Season of Joy. One of the simplest things to share is a smile! People get stressed out and over-extended during the holidays. A big smile tends to catch them off guard, and they usually return the sentiment.

I have a fun, easy way for you and your kids to share a little Thanksgiving Joy in three simple steps:

Print out some Give Thanks cards
Tape a quarter onto the corner of each
Leave on top of a candy or toy vending machine

If you have time, stick around for a little while and (secretly) watch each child’s face light up as they discover the surprise.

A few more ideas for the Give Thanks cards:

Leave them near the vending machine at work – you might want to add more than 1 quarter
Tuck one inside a library book before returning (make sure it’s not against your library’s rules)
Write a note and slip it into a family member’s lunch
Tape on candy instead and hand out
Pass them out at a nursing home, along with a big hug
Give them to the kids in your Sunday School Class
