Operation: Holiday Cheer
Hello all! Perhaps at Parkside on Wednesday the 15th you saw a Holiday card here or there, lying around with a post-it note on it, perhaps not. If you did however I hope it made you smile for just a second amidst this crazy week of finals. The story behind it all started with writing cards for the people who I know personally. With cards left over I figured something needed to be done, so I got the attention of two cheerful girls in my apartment, Brenna and Bethanne, and together we set out on a mission to fill the cards with messages to inspire, to make people smile, to reduce stress, to make people think about the magic behind the holiday season that we don’t get enough of now that we’re in college working extremely hard to get a degree and hopefully a career. We picked one quote to be found in every single card, “Write it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year” in hopes that it might inspire someone to think differently about their day to day life. We then filled the cards with random messages ranging from a mere “Smile, Happy Holidays” to longer messages wishing good luck on finals and such. Then the next day we all took the cards we created and left them in places, handed them to people studying as we passed them in the hallway, or snuck into empty offices and left them on desks.

Below are some pictures they took to document their project. Thanks for playing, guys!:
And with that, we'd like to wish EVERYONE a happy, restful, joyful, and fulfilling holiday season. Get out there and make some art, spread joy, and be at peace.
