Creative Christmas Cheer: Using creativity to spread the joy of Christmas!

Welcome back to A Cozy Christmas Podcast! Summer’s heat can make it hard to feel the Christmas spirit, but it’s still there—waiting to be found and shared! In this episode, I talk about how creativity can spread joy—especially Christmas joy—and I take a moment to reflect on Currier & Ives and their timeless winter scenes.

For our story today, I read the first two Christmas chapters of Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women. The March sisters’ creativity, generosity, and joy shine through—whether in giving to a family in need, receiving an unexpected gift from a kind neighbor, or staging a delightfully chaotic homebased theatre performance. Together, they remind us that the best gifts we give (and receive) are always the most heartfelt.
