In 2019, 2020, and 2021 we spread the Christmas Spirit all over the BackyardChickens site and beyond! Are you ready for year four?
Starting on the 14th of December, do as many acts of service as you can! Take a look at my daily suggestions below.
There are no rules, only guidelines, so you can adapt these suggestions to your needs. The ultimate goal is to spread love and joy this Christmas season!
Let's do this!!!
Dec 14, day 1: Think of 10 things you are thankful for and share them on BYC (this thread would work great), social media, or to a friend or family member!
Dec 15, day 2: Welcome one or more new BYC members by replying to their "New Member Introduction" or post a comment on their profile page. Try to engage them in a conversation!
Dec 16, day 3: Spend some quality time with your poultry or other pets, a friend, or a family member.
Dec 17, day 4: Think of a BYC member you don't know much about and ask them a question about their flock. Most people's favorite subject to talk about is themselves, except chicken owners, who like to talk about their chickens.
Ask them about their favorite bird, their breeds, and funny habits their chickens have!
Dec 18, day 5: Try to go through a whole day with out complaining. Do your best to be kind and positive to everyone you see or message today!
Dec 19, day 6: Do a secret act of service! No service, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
Dec 20, day 7: The next time somebody messages you today, tell them something you appreciate about them. If nobody messages you, then be proactive and message somebody yourself!
Dec 21, day 8: Contact a BYC Staff Member or a Project Manager and tell them how much you appreciate them. They work hard on this forum and deserve some credit!
Dec 22, day 9: Share a positive quote with someone who is going through a hard time, or someone who just deserves it.
Dec 23, day 10: Contact a BYC member you admire and tell them why you admire them! Or tell a friend 10 reasons why you love them.
Dec 24, day 11: Think of a friend or family member you think might be lonely or going through a rough time. Call them and give them a few minutes of your time. You might be the person who makes their Christmas!
Dec 25, day 12: Give a gift to your poultry! Some ideas are a new sign to put in the coop, a special treat, a promise to paint their coop in spring or simply spend extra time with them. Merry Christmas!
The 12 Days of BYC officially starts on the 14th! Check in at the poll or leave a quick 'hello' comment to dedicate yourself, then tag a friend who you think might be interested. Here we go!
