Suggested Nationwide Christmas Eve Tradition for 2020

[HS Mom in NC]

This was on my FB news feed from our neighborhood page.  I think we'll participate, even though we don't have littles. Anyone else planning on participating?

This is being done in the community next to us and lots of neighborhoods in my city are planning to participate too.

Except for the Santa part, I absolutely love it!!! Hoping people do it around here.

ETA: For those who would like it to be, it could be a "Ring Christmas Bells" tradition. Or just fun. 🙂

Ring Christmas bells
Merrily ring
Tell all the world
Jesus is king

Loudly proclaim
With one accord
The happy tale
Welcome the lord

Ring Christmas bells
Sound far and near
The birthday of
Jesus is here

Herald the news
To old and young
Tell it to all
In every tongue

Ring Christmas bells
Toll loud and long
Your message sweet
Heal and prolong

Come all you people
Join in the singing
Repeat the story
Told by the ringing

Merry, merry, merry, merry Christmas.... 🔔🔔🔔

No littles in the house, but sign me up! I’m afraid the only jingle bells we have in the house are the dogs' potty bells for the door, but that will work, right?

(Ok, actually silly excited about this now. 2020 is in desperate need of some fun, people!)

Awww, that's really cute. I hope it catches on!

Oh, this could be a fun idea! We live in the country so it'd just be us hearing it. But we could combine it with the Polish tradition of looking for the first star of the evening. If we follow that up with a quick visit to a friend's to ring bells there....we could come home, drink cocoa, read the Christmas story or watch a movie, and go to bed).  Decisions, decisions...

Am I the only one who thinks of It's a Wonderful Life reading this? 😅
