Have you heard of Christmas Jars? I confess that this is my first introduction to the concept. It’s amazing, you guys. I know we can all think of someone who needs to receive a little extra cheer around the holidays! This is a wonderful way to deliver some hollyjolly without expecting a return gift. I’ve already put the Christmas Jars book on hold at the library.
“It’s contagious….kindness.”
The main character of the movie, Hope, is an absolute delight. During a dark time in her life, this young lady receives a Christmas Jar and uses it as her “big break.” She tracks down people who received jars and tries to identify a pattern. Her friends and coworkers get involved in the process as well.
The overall message of Christmas Jars is a restoration of hope. It gives a boost of encouragement to those who need it. The jar can change everything — and not because of what it contains. Instead, it’s what the jars tell the recipient. That you’re seen. You’re loved. You’re important.
If you need some inspiration — or an old-fashioned kick in the rear to get yours started — read the true stories about Christmas Jars!
Based on the beloved novel by Jason F. Wright, CHRISTMAS JARS shares the story of Hope Jensen, a reporter who uncovers the remarkable secret behind a holiday phenomenon: money-filled glass jars anonymously given to people in need. The New York Times bestseller has created a new holiday tradition that has changed the lives of people in their time of need, all over the country. CHRISTMAS JARS is a one-night movie event that provides hope to all as we enter this special season. In theaters Monday, November 4 only, CHRISTMAS JARS is a heartfelt reminder that kindness truly is contagious. Get ticket information here!
“I think people are better than that.”
There are some brilliant quotes in this movie. I hope you enjoy this movie as much as I did! Just don’t watch on an empty stomach. Ian’s mom has some good recipes on the movie!

I would give a Christmas Jar to my niece. She has had a challenging year and deserves something nice.
If I had a Christmas Jar, I would give it to a couple with two young children.
