Christmas-time is all about memory making and tradition for my family. With our many changes in the past few years, I’m looking for a few new traditions that fit our family dynamics. When I heard about the #SpreadCheer movement I knew it was the perfect tradition to add to our Christmas plans.
What is #SpreadCheer? It’s all about celebrating Christmas by giving to others. Since BOOing was such a hit for my kids I knew that #SpreadCheer would be another hit for us.
Just package up some Christmas goodies, add the #SpreadCheer printable (plus download some cute printable gift tags), place the goodies on a neighbor’s porch, knock, and RUN!
My little girl needed some extra one-on-one time, so I thought this new tradition was the perfect way to create new memories with her.
We whipped up a batch of Betty Crocker cookies (grab a .50 cents off coupon here) and created #SpreadCheer gifts for our loved ones.
I love using Betty Crocker mixes on days like this. When I’m concentrating on my girl, a quick & easy cookie mix is the perfect way to concentrate on her and not a complicated recipe. Plus, the easy mix allowed Peyton to be the cook and Mommy just a helper.

There are a lot of people that need extra cheer this time of year. You mentioned one that comes to mind—people in nursing homes. We should all set aside some time to spread the cheer. 🙂

I’m spreading cheer to my neighbor this year by making her dinner and getting her a gift basket. She’s older and doesn’t have any family around here.
It is a wonderful idea to spread cheer to others without expecting a direct benefit in return. It is a good habit to teach children and to develop in ourselves.
What a fantastic idea! Such a sweet way to get the kids involved in spreading holiday cheer 🙂
What a cute tradition!
We are baking up some shortbread cookies this afternoon and this would be a perfect way to share with our neighbours.

Baking cookies with my kids is such a great way to spend time together. We do it every Christmas too. Betty Crocker mixes are great since the kids can do it themselves.
