Hippie Holidays: Spreading Love this Christmas

1. The Spirit of Inclusivity

As the holiday season approaches, it is a time to embrace love and spread joy to people from all walks of life. This Christmas, let’s take a cue from the hippie movement and celebrate a holiday season that focuses on inclusivity and acceptance. The spirit of the hippie culture encourages us to love one another unconditionally, disregarding societal norms and promoting peace and harmony.

2. Embracing Sustainable Gifting

In the true spirit of the hippie movement, let’s prioritize sustainable gifting this Christmas. Instead of contributing to the overconsumption and materialism that often surrounds the holiday season, let’s opt for eco-friendly and meaningful gifts. Consider handmade or locally sourced items, or even giving the gift of experiences, such as concert tickets or a day trip to a beautiful natural spot.

3. Supporting Small Businesses

Another way to spread love this Christmas is to support small, local businesses. By purchasing gifts from independent retailers and artisans, we can help sustain their livelihoods and encourage diverse and creative entrepreneurship. This reflects the hippie ideals of community support and economic fairness.

4. Acts of Kindness

Spread love this Christmas through small acts of kindness. The holiday season can be stressful for many, so let’s take the time to show compassion and support to those around us. Volunteer at a local shelter, donate to a food bank, or simply offer a helping hand to someone in need. By exemplifying love and kindness, we can create a ripple effect that spreads outwards.

5. Spreading Love Through Art and Music

The hippie movement was deeply intertwined with art and music, and this Christmas is the perfect time to embrace that spirit. Attend local concerts or art exhibitions, or even organize a small music jam session or art gathering with friends and family. Music and art have the power to unite people and spread love in the most magical of ways.
