If you don't like seeing other people suffer, why not give them a good Christmas by performing acts of charity so that they too can enjoy Christmas just like everyone else? Money should not be a deterrent so why should they be denied of a wonderful Christmas holiday? One thing you can do is gather your creative-minded friends and approach departmental stores for donations in exchange with Christmas display design services. You can do this by first getting the necessary equipment from art shops and DIY stores. Things that are useful include ribbons, streamers, cut-out snowflakes and other Christmas-themed decorations. You might also want to tell suppliers of these necessities about your plans for charity so that a little negotiation might garner you great discounts if you buy in bulk.
The next step is to write an official letter endorsed by charitable organizations and give the letter to the person in charge while you approach the departmental stores. That way they know that it is not a scam and they will gladly allow you to provide Christmas display design services, and in return they will send funds to your desired charity.
At the departmental store, it is important that you display good work ethics as this will set a good example to everyone. You can have your friends dress up as elves or Santa himself and promote your Christmas display design services. Who knows, perhaps this time next year you and your friends can be successful entrepreneurs!
