I love Christmas.Everything about it. But this year it has been harder for me to get into the spirit. The frustrations of all the obligations. The presents, the money, the places to go, the wrapping, the activities. But even though I may be in the dumps, it's not fair to my family.
Tips to help you get in the holiday spirit.
1. Make snowflakes.
2, See a light show.
3. See a christmas play.
4. Bake cookies and decorate them.
5. Volunteer for charity for the less fortunate.
6. Go to a tree farm and cut down your own tree. Although it is more work and a yearly expense, that was our first tradition when our family started, was to go to the christmas tree farm the sunday after thanksgiving, and cut it down ourselves. Get hot chocolate and throw around the football with the family and take pictures.
7. We also wrap 24 books, and on each day leading to christmas, my daughter opens the book and my son reads them to her. Our lil advent calendar from pinterest.
8. Listen to christmas songs on the way to work.
9. sponsor a family that couldn't afford christmas.
10. Do something nice for a stranger. Character is doing something good for someone who can do nothing for you.
