Galva Christmas Eve Jingle

Galva residents will be participating in it’s first Galva Christmas Eve Jingle Thursday December, 24th, at 6 p.m.
The event encourages residents to come outside at 6 p.m. on Christmas Eve and ring bells (sleigh bells or any other bell will do) for two minutes to spread the Christmas Spirit and to help Santa fly his sleigh. Christmas Eve Jingle was recently founded by a Yorkshire Facebook group and Mary Beggs-Reid of Harrogate, Yorkshire, UK. The idea has turned into a global movement with over 350 thousand participants world-wide so far. “Maybe this will become a yearly tradition and you can say you were first when the history books talk of 2020 and that what happened on Christmas Eve united the whole world in spreading joy, hope and the Christmas spirit,” Beggs-Reid said.
“We are asking residents to have their families join our community at 6 p.m. by coming outside of their homes and ringing bells,” Galva resident Michelle Smith said. “After this very tough and difficult year, with the COVID Pandemic and other difficulties, let’s create an amazing memory that will last a lifetime and end 2020 with a bit of hope, magic and togetherness!”
Residents are encouraged to spread the word and invite their family and friends to join the Christmas Eve Jingle. Smith is hoping to get the local churches involved by having them ring their church bells at that time. She would also like to see if other community organizations participate and get their members involved as well. The more bells that are ringing the more exciting and memorable this Christmas Eve will be,” Smith said. “I am sure our children will love knowing that their participation in the Christmas Eve Jingle will help Santa as he is flying around the world.” She also suggested that after the bell ringing resident take a drive around town and check out all the beautiful lights and decorations throughout the city.
The City of Galva can now be added to the growing list of cities from around the world participating in the first ever Christmas Eve Jingle. “As Communities from all of the world are joining us we are hoping to create the sound of millions of joyous of bells on Christmas Eve,” Smith said.
