More Joy Day

More Joy Day is a concept thought up by SDWolfpup in January 2008. It is an annual day devoted to spreading JOY. 
SDWolfpup's suggestions for celebrating that day include:
== 2008 #1 ==
The first More Joy Day was January 10, 2008.
:"In the interest of spreading more joy, I’m proposing that a week from today, Thursday, January 10th, we each engage in one act, either here on or outside of LJ, which brings joy to another person, in the hopes that that person will spread that joy further, and exponentially onward."

== 2008 #2 ==
In the first year, there were two More Joy Days. The second took place on July 3, 2008.
: "The goal of today is for us to seek out and give joy to others, in the hopes that it will expand outward into the world. We're giving ourselves a booster shot of joy to make it through the rest of the year with a little bit of our sanity intact. :)" SDWolfpup's MJ day post

In 2009, More Joy Day was held on January 15.2009 More Joy Day livejournal post2009 More Joy Day Dreamwidth post
From SDWolfpup's LJ:
:"The ultimate goal is to do just one joy-filled thing for someone(s) today; either something small, like letting someone in front of you in line or in traffic, or something big, like writing a fic or making a vid for someone. The smallest amount of joy helps, and is a kindness that wasn't there when you started. You're further encouraged to then post about it and comment here with your link for further joy-sharing." SDWolfpup's More Joy Day Post, Jan 2009
Other comments:
: "You cannot have a bad attitude upon this day, this wonderful day that comes but once a year. It’s simpler than Christmas, because there’s no commercialism. It’s better than Easter, because the chocolate sellers aren’t as pushy and all the good stuff is still in the store. It’s more fun than ANZAC Day (I’m an Army Brat, it’s Happy ANZAC Day), because the stores are open and you can go shoe shopping if you like." Hip-hip-HooRAY, it’s MORE JOY DAY
