SHARING your Christmas with others is a sure way of enjoying your festive celebrations far more.

There are plenty of ways to help local people this year – through assisting the excellent Urban Outreach ensure cash-strapped families get some decent meals over Christmas with food hampers to donating the gift of a toy to a needy child via the Bolton News and Bolton Lions’ Caring Christmas campaign.

You don’t have to give much. It’s definitely more about just giving, and then knowing that, along with celebrating with your own loved ones, someone else is benefitting from your true spirit of Christmas.
