Christmas Advice

I'm off to do some Christmas shopping today. I hope you are getting yours done as well.
I leave you with this.

Try at least one new Christmas recipe and one new decorating idea.

Take a shut-in a delicious Christmas dinner.

Rent a Santa Claus suit. Slip it on during your lunch hour and hand out candy canes to everyone in the office. If you stay home....have dad do it before he gets home and surprise the kids.

Take your family to a live performance of your church's Christmas Program.

Before going to bed on Christmas Eve, read by candle light about the birth of Jesus in Luke 2.

Personalize your Christmas cards with a short handwritten note.

Tie jingle bells on your kid's shoelaces.

When you think you have enough lights on your tree, add two more strands.

Give a young member of your family the honor of placing the star or angel on top of the tree.

Go caroling.

Instead of the usual bedtime stories, read to your children about the Christmas customs in other countries.

Buy more Scotch tape, wrapping paper, and Christmas cards than you think you'll need.

Deliver coffee cakes to your neighbors to enjoy on Christmas morning.

Never write the word Christmas as Xmas.

Enjoy a couple of meals illuminated only by the Christmas tree.

Before going to bed every night of the Christmas season, ask yourself, "Whose life did I make brighter today?"

Have a great Wednesday everyone. See you later.
