5. Look up the underside of a Christmas tree.
6. Write your own holiday carol.
7. Buy a unique ornament to commemorate each year.
8. Read stories by O.Henry.
9. Hang mistletoe all over the place, and start smooching!
10. Remember the holidays is about spreading joy, not presents.
I wish the holidays were more about spreading joy than presents! I keep on suggesting not to swap presents (I’ve always figured, how about everyone keeps the money they were to spend and spend it on themselves on something they want…besides kids. Christmas presents are okay for kids). Sure it’s wonderful seeing the faces on people opening presents but I feel people are losing the meaning of the holidays. Everyone’s stressed, I feel it should be about people getting together and spending that time on each other. But that’s just me. Hooray for this post though, paper snowflakes and all!
Great thoughts Kitty! Thanks so much for the thoughtful feedback
