InAmerica and around the world,Christmas offers many opportunities to spread "peace on earth, good will toward men." For example, SalvationArmy bell ringers are a familiar sight to mostChristmas shoppers. They stand outside malls and stores collecting money for the needy. Many churches and other organizations collect toys and clothes asChristmas gifts for poor families. Going caroling is another traditional way to bring cheer to neighbors— especially the elderly and people who can’t get out much. TheChristmas spirit encourages people to help each other in many large and small ways.
